This year’s Max Europe conference will be my first ever Max. It appears i’ve never been employed in the past by someone who figured it worth my while going to the official conference of the company whose software i have used on a daily basis for the past 9 years. Luckily, i get to make those sorts of decisions these days 
I am honored to not only be allowed to go, but allowed to speak about what is currently going on in Away3d-land, with my session Finding Away3d. There is certainly a lot to talk about at present, although more on this later…
I have also been invited to attend a panel for the 3D Flash “Birds of a Feather” discussion on Monday evening, sharing the stage with two people i have great admiration for, Carlos Ulloa of Papervision3D fame, and Alex Karpovich from the team responsible for Alternativa. Covering the three main 3d engines should make for one interesting discussion, and something i actually feel a little nervous about… If nothing else, I hope it will encourage the idea that 3d is not a religon – and there can always be more than one way!
Anyway, back to packing. Away3d t-shirt, Away3d mug, Away3d toothbrush…
