On March 20th, Bill Gates will kick off a new conference called “MIX”, focused on the web for developers, designers, and dev business decision makers at the top worldwide consumer web sites on March 20-22 at the Venetian hotel in Las Vegas. This conference will focus the web’s next generation of content and commerce, plus the customer experience that is beyond the browser. 

 

MIX is similar to PDC in that it intends to become an important and regular roadmap event for this community. Like PDC, it will offer deep technical content targeting featuring technologies like IE7, II7, Atlas, WPF, InfoCard, Windows Media, Media Center and Office Live.

Developers can dive deep into the latest Microsoft web technologies, including Internet Explorer 7, Atlas/AJAX, ASP.NET, InfoCard, the Windows Presentation Foundation, Windows Media and others. Want to learn how to code pages for IE7 that render properly in other popular browsers? Interested in building AJAX sites quickly and efficiently?

 

Designers can learn how Microsoft’s platform technologies will allow them to create rich experiences that incorporate video, advanced typography, vector graphics, and 3D graphics. Explore new ways to differentiate your sites from those of your competitors, learn how to streamline the designer-developer pipeline and discuss strategies for improving your site’s usability.

 

Business Decision Makers will get a solid overview of how Windows Vista and the Internet Explorer roadmap can boost site revenues and unlock new business opportunities. Get the latest Vista and IE7 forecasts from Microsoft, discuss the business implications of RSS and pick up insights on how to better monetize your offerings.
