5/4-5/8 • Adobe MAX 2013 Conference • Los Angeles
And for serious conference-goers, a description from the MAX website: "Come to MAX to gain the knowledge you need to stay competitive and the inspiration to create your best work. Choose from over 300 sessions and labs taught by industry leaders and Adobe experts....mix and match sessions from all five MAX tracks: Web Experiences, Design and Creativity, Digital Publishing, Gaming or Video." An incredible and stimulating environment for learning the latest. Last year's opening keynote in the Nokia Theater was an absolutely spectacular, mind-blowing experience. (But then, it IS in Los Angeles, the entertainment capital of the world...). Highly recommended. Details
