Microsoft MIX07 in Las Vegas, and Chicago

Las Vegas

One more business trip. I was lucky enough to visit the second edition of the MIX conference, held by Microsoft. This conference is very special, because it is a MIX (hence the name) of contents for software developers and graphics designers. The focus is very much on web technologies and also the newest UI technologies developed by Microsoft, for example WPF. It's also a great occasion to meet experts from all over the world, and exchange ideas about all kind of subjects.

I didn't have much time to visit Vegas, but I had the time to catch Mystère by Le Cirque du Soleil at Treasure Island, and it was amazing (it better be, because I didn't go to the MIX party with the PussyCat Dolls to see Mystère!).

Chicago

After 3 amazing days at MIX, I went to Chicago, and spent two days in our US headquarters. It was very nice, and I even had a few hours to spend downtown and finally visit a little, including climbing up the Sears tower, once the highest tower in the world (it lost its title to the Petronas towers, which made stupidly proud :-)
