MIX is an intimate conversation between developers, designers and business professionals to explore:

• High-fidelity commerce, content, media, services and security
• How new technologies can help find, retain and up-sell customers
• The latest on Silverlight, Internet Explorer, ASP.NET, Expression, Windows Live and other key technologies. Keynotes, presentations, discussions, labs
• Microsoft’s CEO Steve Ballmer will share his thoughts as well
• Maybe it’s because we’re huge “The Tao of Steve” fans, or we can’t help but return to one of the hottest nightclubs on the strip . . . the MIX bash this year will be at TAO in the Venetian
