PDC is less than a week away, and it appears that the Mix team is busy announcing plans for Mix09 in Vegas.

Agenda & Speakers

There is a great list of the usual suspects and the some new faces including:

• Lou Carbone (check out Lou’s previous Mix sessions)
• Dan Roam, Digital Roam
• Luke Wrobleski, Yahoo, Inc.
• Molly Holzschlag, molly.com
• Nate Koechley, Yahoo YUI

Restyle & 10k Smart Coding Challenge

Do you hate the style of the Mix site? Change it. Use your own CSS and images to ReStyle the Mix homepage. This is a great opportunity for local web designers to create a new experience. 

Inspire the world with just 10k of code.  It reminds me of Stuart Butterfield’s 5k competition. It’s a great chance to win a conference pass, hotel accommodations and a gift card (money) for time in your Vegas.

What could you create for the Web if you only had 10 kilobytes of code? It’s time to exercise your minimalist creativity and get back to basics – back to optimizing every little byte like your life depended on it.

 

Both of these challenges have the same prize:

One winner will receive a pass to MIX09, hotel accommodations and a Visa gift card. Other great prizes are to be announced. Official entry requirements, procedures, rules and restrictions coming in November.
