I arrived at the LA Convention Center this afternoon to get my MAX badge and everything looks amazing. I spent the day hanging in the community plaza, where all the booths are set up. This place is massive and everyone is so very busy. I’m getting tons of swag and my badge even says MAX Staff—unreal. The action starts tomorrow, so expect a ton of #adobemax tagged tweets.

Note: If you use DestroyTwitter and can’t stand people who tweet from events, add this regex to your exclude keywords: #adobemax[A-Za-z0-9]*

The Adobe MAX Companion has been my life over the past two months. It was my first project as an Adobe employee and I’m thrilled that it’s finally live. The app sports the ability to tweet about the conference with the proper hashtags automatically included as well as streams from each session. There’s a section for sessions, including a view of your own schedule along with a filter to quickly find what you’re looking for.  It also provides maps of the venue. Check it out and if you’re attending MAX, use it for a chance to win some sweet prizes.
