Editor’s note: We invited long time EE Community contributor and Pro Net member Kevin Shoesmith to tell us about the ExpressionEngine Roadshow, an event he helped found that is now in its second year.

Imagine a bright, loft style studio filled with people who love ExpressionEngine. Really love it. They love it so much that they’ve built award-winning websites, incredible software, and highly recognized Web development businesses around it. Also in that room, are the creators of...
