It only happens once a year. That's right; your chance to meet other FileMaker enthusiasts is an annual experience. It certainly doesn't have to be that way. Every year FileMaker holds a convention called Devcon with an average of 1300 attendees from around the world.

Developers en masse run from session to session and meeting to meeting without taking the time to really get to know one another. FMGreet hopes to change all of this by offering a website that actively brings the FileMaker community together - providing valuable information to Devcon attendees and those not attending.

Every year developers unable to attend Devcon are left in a virtual information black hole. This is all about to change with our new campaign "No Developer Left Behind"! Your friends can instantly know where you are with FMGreet and hey, you can even "Tweet from FMGreet".

FMGreet is unique in many ways. First and foremost it was created to give the individual a voice. Visitors to FMGreet can create a profile, blog, and post to the message board as well as communicate privately with their friends.
