I am really looking forward to MIX10 this year. The keynotes, sessions, parties and the best part of it all for me is talking with all of the attendees (well I can’t talk to everyone, but I try my best to get around). I will be hanging in the Commons quite often, so please come by and hang with me. Who doesn’t want to sit and chat with the Sicilian Silverlight Evangelist? ;-)

I’ll be on twitter all week tweeting, so grab a quick virtual chat with me at @john_papa.

OK so if you cannot make it to MIX this year, you should really check out Channel 9 Live. They started this at PDC09, I believe. Basically there is a live stream starting after each keynote where there are hosts who interviews great guests like Scott Guthrie and Charlie Kindel. Some interviews are pure question and answer sessions too. At PDC Adam Kinney I hosted a session after the keynote where we answered questions that were tweeted to @ch9Live. We had so many questions that we could have gone on for hours.

So for MIX10 Channel 9 Live is at it again. Here is the full Channel 9 schedule. I’ll be on live for a few sessions with a great crew of interviewers and hosts, too:

Title: MIX10 Day 1 Keynote After Party

So be sure to check out Channel 9 Live. Here is what you need to know minimally:

What
Channel 9 Live is a live and interactive broadcast of interviews with executives, VIP’s, industry luminaries, technology experts, session presenters, mad scientists and everyone in between. If you have a question for folks like Scott Guthrie, Joe Belfiore, Bill Buxton and Dean Hachamovich send them through to us and we'll ask on your behalf, live on the air. It's the next best thing to being there in person.

When
Immediately following the keynotes, Channel 9 Live will be broadcasting from: 
• Monday March 15th: 10:30AM - 5:30PM (PST)
• Tuesday March 16th: 10:30AM - 5:30PM (PST)
