Watch the CFN Conference Live!
If you've seen the schedule for the CFN conference, you know that we have an exciting lineup in store. If you can't make it to the conference because you're not a student, because you have other obligations and couldn't get the time off, or because we simply ran out of room, you're in luck! We will be live streaming the conference starting Friday morning at 9:30 ET. You can watch it from the CFN website or the CFN's Ustream channel. FIRE's staff also will be tweeting from the conference. Tune in and join the conversation on Twitter by using the hashtag #CFN10.
