Quick reminder that Early Stage will host Jeff Whatcott in a discussion on future markets and trends for Drupal at TeqCorner in McLean, VA. Also on tap will be a Phase2 Technologies presentation on new module development and Nabil Sandhu from WarpLab will present a testing framework for Drupal implementations.

After the planned presentations, time will be allotted for interested parties to quickly present their efforts in the development, support, deployment or maintenance of Drupal and its associated modules. Please contact Marc Benton if you would like speak at this or future Early Stage events.

Copies of Pro Drupal Development signed by Dries Buytaert will be raffled. (We've received word that Dries may stop in during Jeff's talk).

Please register for this event at http://earlystage.eventbrite.com/

We hope to see you there!
