Looking for Evening Events at Mix11
Posted by bsstahl on 2011-01-30 and Filed Under: event
I won’t be an attendee at the Mix conference this year. Nothing against this conference; it is usually fantastic and I have met many awesome people there. This year, my focus is elsewhere, on SOA and Middleware/Back-End technologies. Not that I’ve ever really been a front-end guy mind you, but I am of the opinion that balance is a good thing and since I consider myself weaker in front-end (UX) technologies, Mix has been a good learning experience for me in the past. However, as I said, this year, my primary focuses are elsewhere.
Not being an attendee doesn’t stop me from wanting to meet with old friends and continue the awesome technical discussions that go on at these events. I have loved meeting with the product teams in the past, both to learn from them and to provide my input into the future directions of the products. So, it is my intent to fly up to Las Vegas (it is less than an hour flight from Phoenix) for at lease 1 evening of the Mix conference, perhaps 2. Right now, I am looking for events to schedule for that (those) evening(s).
I know that I will not be able to go to the attendee party, since I will not be an attendee, and that event occurs on Wednesday the 13th (courtesy of Joe Guadagno’s Mix 11 Events site). This means that the most likely evenings for me to be there are Monday and Tuesday, April 11th and 12th. Do you know of any events going on in Las Vegas during this time that would be awesome for me as a .NET Software Engineer to attend? If so, I would appreciate it if you would let me know. I’ve setup a special email alias just for this purpose, please contact me at bss_MixEvents@bsstahl.com.
