C2 Software, the Dundee based developers of the Activedition Content Management system were delighted at the success of the 2007 Activedition User Conference opened by keynote speaker Steve Clayton, Chief Technology Officer for Microsoft UK.
Focusing on the development of Web 2.0, Steve discussed social networking phenomena's such as RSS feeds, blogging and Wiki's. Steve writes his own very popular blog Steve Clayton: Geek in Disguise. Other speakers included Justine McCoy, eServices Adoption Manager from Origo, Chris Rourke from usability and accessibility experts User Vision and Simon Farrell from web design and branding specialists Tayburn. A wide range of Activedition clients and partners turned out for the conference, many of whom stayed on for the evening Gala Dinner at the RRS Discovery.
"We were delighted with the response from clients, partners and colleagues to the User Conference and Dinner." said Finlay Carmichael, Managing Director of C2 Software. "The day event ran without a hitch and proved to be informative for all involved. Everyone seemed to get something out of it. The drinks reception on board the RRS Discovery was one that will be remembered for a long time and the dinner and dancing that followed was fantastic. It was great to see our clients and partners mixing and thoroughly enjoying themselves. I'm just not sure how we can top this at our next ten year milestone."
C2 Software also launched a new product at the conference, Content Management Designer. Content Management Designer is an exciting new concept in web content management which extends the already powerful capabilities of Activedition 4.1. The key principal of Content Management Designer is that it allows an unlimited number of tailored content management interfaces to be designed to business specific requirements.
The User Conference and Dinner brought together clients, partners, colleagues and supporters of C2 Software, many of whom have helped to shape the company over the past ten years and who will continue to play a substantial part of the companies future.
