The 72 Hour Conversation on the Future of the Web Starts with Dean, Joe, and Scott

and Scott

At last year's MIX10 event, Windows Internet Explorer Corporate Vice President, Dean Hachamovitch, announced the Internet Explorer 9 Platform Preview 1 with hardware accelerated HTML5. This year, Dean will be back on the MIX stage as he returns as the day 1 keynoter at MIX11.

Eight platform previews, one beta, one release candidate, and one final version of Internet Explorer 9 later - it’s a keynote you won’t want to miss.

But that’s not all! For the second year in a row, Joe Belfiore, who oversees Windows Phone Program Management, and is responsible for the design and software product definition of forthcoming generations of Windows phones and Zune devices will keynote MIX. By his side will be Scott Guthrie, who heads Microsoft's .NET Developer Platform, where he runs the development teams responsible for delivering Silverlight, Visual Studio and the .NET Framework technologies for building client and Web applications.

MIX is the entrée to the most thought-provoking experts and pioneering technologists discussing and debating the Internet nation today. More than 150 top thinkers in the web community will give sessions and panels all designed to prepare you for the innovations of the next web now. Topics at MIX run the gamut from RIA to web standards, media, video, cloud services, tooling, devices, games, plus the breakthroughs coming out of research. There’s no better place for a UX expert or a web architect to hear about the future of technologies like HTML5 and CSS3, Silverlight, Internet Explorer, Windows Phone, and ASP.NET.

Dean, Joe and Scott will set the stage for this exciting content and discussion that will be had at MIX this year, and YOU need to be part of that conversation.
