IDF Comes to San Francisco September 22-24

posted by Ken Kaplan on June 30, 2009

For a dozen years, the Intel Developer Forum has been pulling together top rock stars of technology innovation.

It’s happening again September 22-24, when digital enterprise, mobility, digital home, software, manufacturing and research experts come together under the enormous roof of San Francisco’s Moscone Center West.

Leading technologists gather to collaborate and collect insights about Intel’s technology roadmap so they can build new products with the best and latest innovation inside.

IDF is about collaborating, educating, innovating and risk taking to find new ways for technologies to meet real needs in our lives. It’s about meaningful progress, and I feel the pace of innovation quickening when I see highlights from last year’s IDF 2008 in San Francisco:

IDF 2009 theme explores the innovation economy, the enormous impact technology is having on industries, governments and our daily lives.

In addition to keynotes by Intel executives, there are 125 technical sessions, including interactive discussions, hands-on labs and panels.
