This is the keynote speech at the Day of DotNetNuke in Chicago, Illinois on October 2, 2010. The speaker is Nik Kalyani, a co-founder of the DotNetNuke Corporation, contributor to the project since it existed, author of many features we use today, and the founder of many other start-ups, including his current venture named HyperCrunch.

The first annual Day of DotNetNuke Chicago just finished up yesterday afternoon for some of us, and in the very early morning hours of today for others.  You know who you are…  It was an incredible time by all accounts.  From the pre-party where speakers, volunteers, and sponsors gathered at a nearby watering hole, to the event and all of its festivities, to the after party event known as DNN After Dark, where everyone joined together to celebrate the end of the event and network for the remainder of the night.  Can you believe that it was a free event to attend?

Right on the heels of the very sad announcement about the cancellation of Day of DotNetNuke Orlando, there is some really great news for the DotNetNuke community.  There will be another event held in Chicago this year, on October 2nd.  That’s right!  Everyone in the midwest will have a Day of DotNetNuke in their own backyard!
