Mitch Pirtle

Mitch PirtleMitch Pirtle is a serial entrepreneur, and a past winner of the unofficial "Founder's Award" from the CMS Association (in other words, he's founded several organizations).

When you read his history, you'll get a taste of what that means: After serving as a Core Developer for Mambo CMS (and Lead Web Developer for The N/MTV Networks, he helped co-found Joomla!  and its not-for-profit organization, Open Source Matters. He is the Founder and CEO of Spacemonkey Laboratories; Co-Founder of Ivivio; Founder of Buzzwerks Inc; oh, plus he helped co-found the New York Joomla User Group.

Mitch has planted many seeds along his entrepreneurial path, and he's also set an example for others to follow by nurturing those efforts into fully blossomed businesses and organizations, employing and engaging millions of active participants in the communities he helped establish and grow.

Speaking of communities - At CMS Expo Chicago 2009, Mitch was our keynote on Friday speaking about Building Online Communities and he also conducted a training session KickApps Social Media, a Manhattan-based company where he served as the Vice President of Developer Relations. Mitch's high-energy approach, backed by decades of experience, will provide you with inside knowledge you simply can't find anywhere else. Don't be surprised if you see a technology business book show up on the shelves at your local Barnes & Noble written by Mitch Pirtle either. He's one hell of an author. ;)

 

At the 2010 CMS Expo in Chicago, we are pleased to welcome Mitch Pirtle as a Keynote Speaker.  Mitch will also be presenting a learning session called MongoDB Database: Built For Speed and Mitch will moderate the Interactive Panel: MongoDB vs MySQL Head-To-Head
