Macromedia sent out a promotional email yesterday inviting folks to register for the MAX conference, and introducing several of the presenters. I checked my mail yesterday and there was my grinning face staring back at me (the pict above was the header of the email). I hope to goodness the email was opt-in. I’m very pleased to be MAX, I just hope I’m not also spam.

Justin Everett-Church is the award-winning mobile and devices developer behind NYC Traffic, a Macromedia Flash application that delivers real-time images of Manhattan intersections to cellular phones. He’s one of thousands of leading designers and developers who will gather at MAX 2005 this October to learn new skills, explore emerging technologies, share techniques with peers, and put exciting new ideas in motion.

So that was a very exciting way to announce that I will be presenting at the MAX conference in Anaheim this October. I’m presenting on Advanced Flash Lite 1.1 development in the 90 minute hands on track. I’m actually going to be presenting the session three times, so if you are going, sign up for one and also the other Mobile and Devices sessions.

I’m actually pretty impressed with how on-the-ball Macromedia is with this conference. To make sure that the session will be up to their standards, I have a lot of due dates for outlines, rough drafts and final presentation. While it will probably keep me a bit stressed for the next month or so, I think it will make for a better presentation.

EDIT: Thanks to Grant’s trackback, I see that he is also MAX. As for the logic “MAX == me and MAX == Grant, therefore me==Grant,” I wouldn’t want to give away the Macromedia announcement at MAX for Macromedia BrainWeaver.
