Embedded Systems West is coming up, there's just a month to the event! - We're doing a number of things at the event.

First, there's the Industry Address on April 16th 3:45pm-4:45pm being given by Kevin Dallas (General Manager, Windows Embedded Business, Microsoft), and your favorite embedded Demo Monkey

Here's the abstract for the industry address.

The embedded industry is one of the fastest growing markets. This growth is being driven by an explosion of embedded devices that have advanced computing capabilities and are IP Connected. These “Smart, Connected” devices are creating new business models and growth opportunities for OEMs, Enterprises and Service providers. Embedded devices of the near-future will evolve to both accept services as well as expose the data they contain as a service, these next generation devices will spur even more growth and open up new opportunities. Come hear what Windows Embedded is doing to lead the industry through these changes and how you can benefit from the opportunity.
