RIA summit: "Unleashing the Power of Rich Internet Applications"
Adobe and effectiveUI are putting on a free Rich Internet Application Summit on Thursday, May 3rd, in Denver that I'll be a speaker for. While it's obviously targeted at Adobe products, it's going to be one of the first conference I've seen that focuses on the business side of Rich Internet Applications. There are representatives from Forrester, eBay, and Adobe as well as Anthony Franco, a managing partner at effectiveUI.
The agenda includes topics like the business case for Rich Internet Applications, what kinds of experiences you can create with Apollo, and how important user experience can be when delivering applications over the web or on the desktop. The final session is a panel with all of the speakers talking about the future of RIAs and how they'll affect software. I'm covering the Rich Internet Application ecosystem, so I'll be giving an overview of Adobe's technologies and where they fit. I'll be talking about mobile devices, the web, the desktop, and how RIAs can span all of those for the best reach.
As I said, it's a free event, so if you'll be in Denver on the 3rd of May, you should head on over and register. It runs from 8:30 to 2:00 and is being held at the Adam's Mark Hotel. Even if you weren't planning on being in Denver, it's a great place to take a trip, and this is as good reason to schedule a long weekend of skiing or hiking or just hanging out in the mile high city.
