It has been a busy month as we have quickly moved from the preparation phase to the "Live from Las Vegas" stage for MIX.

Decks and demos are being finalized, labs are ready and people in Redmond are starting to head down.  It has been a lot of work in a very short period of time but the experience will be memorable for all in attendance.

Over half the sessions are being presented by representatives from Microsoft partners and other industry leaders including eBay, Yahoo and Amazon.  Additionally, there is going to be a good mix of designers, developers and business decision makers in attendance.  This variety of perspectives, approaches and backgrounds will make MIX unlike any other Web conference to date.

I'm heading down on Saturday to get machines setup for Monday's "Next Generation Browsing Experience" keynote.  If you are attending, don't forget about The MIX Party at TAO (sorry, no guests allowed).
