Max Day 2 Keynote
Another introductory video montage about design and development, again featuring both Ben Forta and Laura Arguello (no Ray this time). Kevin Lynch enters and announces the MTV AIR contest at adobe.mtv.com. He introduces Adobe CEO Bruce Chizen begins by speaking about what keeps him going. He describes some of the difficulties of his job such as dealing with people in the financial world and the press. In describing what keeps him going, he talks about talking his son to a Dave Mathews Band concert and getting invited back stage, where, while feeling a little starstruck himself, the band and producers kept raving about Adobe's products. Another example of what motivates him is tat 4,000 plus people are sitting at the keynote who paid to come to this conference and are motivated by Adobe's products and innovate with them on a daily basis. He says that this continues to inspire him.
ColdFusion Open-Source Update - October 1, 2007

One new project and four updates this week. So I am sitting here at MAX surrounded by Ray Camden, Jared Rypka-Hauer, Matt Woodward and Simeon Bateman answering questions at the "Ask an Adobe Community Expert" table. Well, ok, we haven't really had any questions - perhaps Ray is scaring folks off?
MAX Day One Keynote - Full Coverage
Posted on Oct 01, 2007
For someone who has only attended ColdFusion-specific conferences, it is hard to describe the scale of MAX. I am sitting here waiting for the opening keynote staring at three giant screens with music blasting to a standing-room-only audience of thousands. Finally, the giant screens begin playing an opening montage with Ray Camden, Laura Arguello, Ben Forta and many others speaking about the theme of engagement.
