A Worthy Schedule for the WideOpen Web
I just completed my (initial) selection for my MIX08 experience. I look forward to seeing the upcoming innovations for the "WideOpen Web". With all the new technologies coming from Microsoft, it certainly feels like we developers are writing the future of what the web experience will be. -
What is Inside the MIX08 Bag?
Upon registration at MIX08, I received a white bag filled with conference goodies. Here are the items I really appreciate: -
The Venetian is the Perfect Home for MIX08
I must admit that I really enjoy the MIX conferences being held at The Venetian in Las Vegas. -
Open Space at MIX 08
I just read a blog from Tim Heuer regarding a new concept at MIX this year - Open Space. The idea here is that the attendee has a strong influence over the direction of topics discussed. I am very interested in seeing how this play out. The concept is very similar to how the Phoenix Silverlight User Group is managed. -
Excellent Customer Service
When I arrived at The Venetian last night, the MIX 06 registration team asked for my ID. I presented my driver's license and went on my way. Later in the evening, the attendees were invited to socialize at Tao, which required photo identification. It was at that moment I realized I no longer had my driver's license. So I ran up to the registration booth and was confronted by two security gentleman who told me to go check at guest services. I went to guest services and they did not have my ID. I went back to the registration booth and asked the security guys to check for my ID. After a little checking, another security person emerged and said they had located my ID and it was on the way. Apparently, I was 5 minutes ahead of the staff at each checkpoint. Eventually the Microsoft & Venetian staff members arrived to hand me my license.

From Venice to The Venetian
My trip to Italy is now over. I arrived back in the United States late Sunday evening. However, upon arrival to Phoenix, I had to repack and head for Las Vegas to attend MIX 06. The conference is at The Venetian resort. What a strange irony that I went from the real Venice to a copy of it within days of each other.
