Grammy Winners Maroon 5 to Perform at Major Technology Conference,
Sept. 22-24
Intel Corporation’s largest technical conference returns to San
Francisco on Sept. 22-24. Registration is now underway for the Intel
Developer Forum, featuring 3 days of vision, learning and collaboration
at Moscone Center West.
In its 12th year, IDF focuses on Intel’s technology and
platform roadmap directions for the next year and beyond in the areas of
digital enterprise, mobility, digital home, software, manufacturing and
research.
“IDF is the place to be for thousands of developers, technologists and
business managers to learn where technology is going, enabling them to
develop product strategies,” said Mark Erwin, general manager of the
event that drew more than 5,000 attendees last year in San Francisco.
“In every conference room, every corridor, every nook of the conference
brilliant minds meet, collaborate and learn from one another. It’s also
where major announcements are made, which is one of the reasons the
event is covered onsite by nearly 600 of the world’s top journalists and
analysts.”
Intel leaders will delve into key strategies on myriad topics during all
three days. CEO and President Paul Otellini will kick off the opening
day keynote slate with a leadership address. Next up is Pat Gelsinger,
senior vice president and general manager, Digital Enterprise Group,
discussing “Intel Architecture Innovates and
Integrates.” Bob Baker, senior vice president and general
manager, Technology and Manufacturing Group, will share insights on
“Silicon Leadership: Delivering Innovation in High Volume.”
Day 2 keynotes are “The Mobile Computing Revolution” by David
Perlmutter, executive vice president and general manager, Mobility
Group; “Developing for the Full Spectrum of Computing”
by Renee James, vice president and general manager, Software and
Services Group; and “The Architecture of Television Innovation,”
by Eric Kim, senior vice president and general manager, Digital Home
Group.
The anchor keynote on Day 3, “The Future of Mobile and Immersive
Computing Experiences,” will be delivered by Justin Rattner, Intel
senior Fellow and vice president, and Intel Labs director and chief
technology officer.
A special event on Tuesday evening will be a concert by three-time
Grammy Award-winning Maroon 5. One of the most successful bands to
emerge this decade, Maroon 5 has more than 15 million in worldwide sales
and a remarkable string of hit singles, including “Makes Me Wonder,”
“Wake Up Call,” “Won’t Go Home Without You” and the band’s first Top 10
hit, “This Love.” Admission to the concert is open to all IDF
registrants.
Other highlights during IDF include the industry Technology Showcase,
home of the latest innovations demonstrated by representatives from
leading technology companies. Also returning are the popular Technology
Insights, where attendees get the latest on Intel processor technologies
from Intel Fellows. Industry Insights feature industry visionaries and
Intel Fellows, and Live & Uncensored (formerly Shop Talk), promises that
no question is off-limits. In all, more than 125 technical sessions are
planned, including interactive lecture sessions, hands-on labs and
panels.
