FASTforward ‘09 (Las Vegas, February 9-11), will be three days of compelling discussion on the evolving business environment and how search is enabling companies to succeed. User experience will surely be part of the “business + technical” agenda.

MIX08 is an intimate opportunity for cutting-edge technical, creative and business strategists to engage Microsoft in a conversation about the future of the web. Come explore the latest wave of opportunities and help redefine the boundaries between: content and commerce, PC and TV, Windows and the Web.

There will be a focused UX track that will feature Lou Carbone, David Armano, Adaptive Path and designers from the Microsoft Office, Surface and Media and Entertainment teams.

There will be a panel “Touch Me: Where are interfaces going?”. The Keyboard and Mouse are aging input devices. For the future of computing and UX where are interfaces going? Are these enough? Is touch-screen Surface/iPhone/iPod Touch just a gimmick? Where should Man Machine Interface (MMI) go?
