I completely agree ;-)
Adobe MAX social media & DeadDrop challenge
I’m sure that by now you will have noticed that Adobe MAX is literally just around the corner. The pre-conference show starts this weekend and the countdown has started to Monday’s first keynote. I have managed to sneak in to some rehearsals this week in the San Francisco office and I was absolutely speechless when I saw the amazing things we have lined up for the keynotes and sneaks.
I’m sure some of you will not be able to join us in Los Angeles and that is why we are doing everything we can to make sure you don’t miss out. I’m sure you already know that you can watch the keynote sessions live wherever you are but the conference will also be covered on the Adobe MAX blog, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and Photoshop.com. For a complete list of social media resources, check out http://max.adobe.com/resources/
We also published a list of official and community driven Twitter-tags on http://bit.ly/adobemaxtags as well as a list of interesting Tweeters to follow http://bit.ly/adobemaxtweeters. For a full list of Adobe employees and products on Twitter, check out http://bit.ly/AdobeOnTwitter.
If you are in L.A. and are taking pictures, make sure you add them to the Adobe MAX Flickr group (http://bit.ly/adobemaxflickr) and check out the Flickr photostream (http://bit.ly/adobemaxphotos). I’ll try to add some backstage shots whenever I can.
And last but certainly not least, Lee Brimelow has put together a new DeadDrop challenge, which will start at noon on Tuesday October 6th. The winner will receive the grand prize (a US$7,500 value) including an Apple MacBook Pro with Adobe Creative Suite Master Collection and Adobe Flex Builder Professional fully loaded, a conference pass to MAX 2010 with 3-nights of hotel accommodation, and more. For details, watch the video at http://adobedeaddrop.com.
I hope you are as excited about Adobe MAX as we are!
My sessions at Adobe MAX
I was just putting my MAX sessions in my calendar and realized that I didn’t blog about these yet… Major oooops :D So… Let me rectify that by listing my sessions below.
If I’m not in a session or rehearsal, chances are that you can find me in the community lounge or at the Adobe booth. Come and say “hi”!
Tuesday, October 6th, 9am-10am
ColdFusion for PHP developers
If you want to understand what ColdFusion is, why you need it, and how you can use PHP and ColdFusion together, attend this session. You may have tried ColdFusion once, switched back to PHP, and never looked at CF again. So did I, until I learned just how much time I’d save with ColdFusion. You’ll learn about the vast array of integrated services and understand why ColdFusion is considered the best server-side platform for building Flex and AIR applications.

My appearance in the day 2 keynote
I’m extremely excited about this one! I’m sure this is going to be an amazing experience… It’s not every week that a small town guy from Belgium gets to be on stage in the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles. The same venue that is home to the American Idols Final show, The Emmy Awards, The American Music Awards and the likes… Really looking forward to it!
