Join us and help honor longtime member and CDPUG Secretary, Elaine Trapp, at our very special meeting featuring our members’—and a few select non-members’—portfolios presented in a Five-Minute Portfolio format. Share your best work, what you enjoy, or who you are — using 20 slides that will auto-advance every 15 seconds — for a total of five high-energy minutes that will put the spotlight on your individuality and creativity. It’s an easy and really cool way to introduce yourself to your peers, make new contacts, and gain important potential referrals.

Deadline for the Call For Entries is 5:00 pm on Saturday, May 24th. To submit your entry or get more information, contact our Spike Radway at programming@cdpug.org.
