Agenda

Confirmed speakers and sessions

Presentations during a Webcafe are short, informative slots of 10 minutes. We’re using a timer so when it runs out, the speaker runs out of time! We have a few confirmed speakers already:

	Scaling in the Cloud Thijs Feryn Evangelist at Combell The Cloud is omnipresent and by now everyone knows what the Cloud is about. There are a lot of fancy implementations out there, but the practical use cases don’t get the attention they deserve. Scalability is one of these use cases. During my 10 minute talk I’ll illustrate how scalability is a crucial feature of Cloud hosting setups.
	Tom Crombez, Microsoft Life as it is: ‘Discovering interesting people at Microsoft’
	iRail Windows Phone 7 showcase Cedric Vandewoude iRail provides mobile public transportation information, through an API, a mobile website, and several native apps. We provide NMBS/SNCB information, but we are working on adding more companies in the near future!
	mijnTVGids Appstrakt Appstrakt develops applications for mobile device, tablets, browsers and desktops. They will talk about their Windows Phone 7 app ‘mijnTV’ and how they tackled the project.
	10 minutes to discover Web Apps and Tools Katrien De Graeve, Developer Evangelist Microsoft Belux Let’s take top speed to see some great Web Applications in action, using the latest tools released in January.

Kinect and prizes

In between the breaks we’ll have a few Kinect contests with some cool prizes. You are the controller, and maybe now you are the winner?

What is Microsoft Webcafe?

Microsoft Webcafe is a new free informal get-together for web and user experience professionals after work hours. The goal is to present a mix of news around Microsoft web related topics and give the opportunity for participants to present a project themselves.
