About the Capital DotNetNuke Usergroup

Capital DotNetNuke Users Group (CDUG) is a forum for members of the DotNetNuke community in the D.C. metro area to discuss and share ideas, challenges and solutions about their DotNetNuke experience.

CDUG was founded by Antonio Chagoury of Inspector IT, Inc. (www.inspectorit.com) and Nik Kalyani (currently the CEO of DotNetNuke Corp.) in 2006. It was an effort intented at getting folks interested in DotNetNuke in one room once a month to discuss a wide range of topics as well share ideas knowledge and experience on the platform.

Since then, Nik has relocated to Silicon Valley on the west coast, but the user group under the leadership and organization of Antonio has kept growing in membership and attendance. We continue to make efforts to grow our community by providing resources, information as well as valuable tips and tricks.

CDUG currently hosts monthly user group meetings. We owe a great deal of gratitude to AT&T for hosting us at their Tysons Corner facility, and to the sponsors that make our meetings more pleasurable by provided snacks and drinks.

We are always looking for Speakers and Sponsors. If you are interested in an opportunity to present your topics or expose your organization to our members please drop us an email @ organizer [at] capitaldug [dot] org
