Great to see Ben Forta back at Adobe CF Summit. Nice insights on navigating tech change over the years in his Day 2 keynote. Congrats on breaking 1 million books sold.

And wishing you the best in bringing tech learning to 1.4 billion children worldwide!

Today I'm flying to Las Vegas, NV for Adobe Summit. It is Mon 6/22 - Tue 6/23/26.

I'm excited about the topics this year! Several modern CF trends stand out:

1) AI everywhere - agents, MCP, RAG, vector databases, semantic search, AI governance, AI security, AI ROI, observability, and AI-assisted development.

2) Modernizing legacy applications - practical techniques for improving and extending existing ColdFusion applications without risky rewrites.

3) Cloud and scale - Google Cloud, AWS, serverless deployments, event-driven architectures, and enterprise-scale data processing.

4) Security and reliability - passkeys, SSO, authentication, JVM troubleshooting, monitoring, performance tuning, backups, and operational excellence.

5) ACF 2025 - new CFML language features, migration strategies, and hidden gems many teams may not be using yet.

One thing I like about this year's conference is that it balances innovation with reality. There are plenty of AI sessions, but also lots of content focused on maintaining, modernizing, securing, and scaling real production systems. That is where many CFer hobbits in the trenches are still working keeping production systems healthy and modern. :-)

A big thank you to all the speakers sharing their experience with the ColdFusion community:

Aaron Rouse, Adeyemi Ritchards, Alex Yablonsky, Amit Dayal, Anastasia Zamyshlyaeva, Ben Forta, Charlie Arehart, Charvi Dhoot, Corbin Crutchley, Dakota Clum, Dave Ferguson, David Byers, David Tattersall, David Timczyk, Guust Nieuwenhuis, Justin Scott, Kevin Schmidt, Kevin Wright, Larry Lyons, Madeline Hou, Mark Takata, Matt Mersing, Michael Hayes, Monte Chan, NIKHIL DUBEY, Nolan Erck, Pete Freitag, Scott Bennett, Shawn Oden, Vikas Yadav, Vivek Kumar

I'll be there representing TeraTech and the CF Alive podcast.
