In addition to the 3 sessions i am doing on Tuesday at the Visual Studio 2010 and SL4 launch I am going to “anchor” for:

Channel 9 Live at Visual Studio 2010 Launch at 3pm on Monday April 12th

The Channel 9 team will be broadcasting live, unscripted and 100% interactive from DevConnections 2010 in the Bellagio Hotel & Casino, Las Vegas on April 12, 2010 as part of the Visual Studio 2010 Launch.  Similar to what the Channel 9 team has done at Mix ’10 and PDC ’09, they will be soliciting questions via Twitter as well as questions from the audience. 

My episode is: “VS2010: The evolution to rich innovative applications – Silverlight & WPF” and I will try to keep Rocky Lohtka and Billy Hollis on track. I was selected because supposedly I am the only capable of containing them. You cannot control them; you can only hope to contain them. 

Details:

To watch the keynotes and Channel 9 Live coverage head to http://live.ch9.ms on April 12th and 13th (Silverlight required)
To be a part of the conversation tweet your questions and comments with @ch9live anywhere in the message and we’ll see it.

Audience Interaction

· We will be proactively soliciting questions and comments from the online audience via Twitter and the in person studio audience via a hand held mic.

Normally, at the big Microsoft conferences i have to work (and stress) pretty hard because I commit to doing a number of developer sessions.  More times that not one of our customers are in keynote demos too.  Well, i got off lucky this time.  All that I am doing in front of an audience is a panel session called “Building Innovative Windows Client Software ” with some buddies of mine: Scott Hanselman, Scott Stanfield, Tim Sneath, Dave Wolf.  There certainly no stressing on that.  in fact, with that group, I may not even get a word in.  🙂

So, the most fun job I have at Mix this year is a job i have had the true pleasure to do for the last 3 large Microsoft Conferences.  I am the guy that does the interviewing for Microsoft for the “Bytes by MSDN” video series.  In all honesty, normally, I am the one who is getting interviewed and I can tell you that doing the interview is so much more fun and challenging.  I “own” the User experience track and get to interview ten or so pretty interesting people…including the king of design himself, Bill Buxton., a principal in Microsoft Research and a true pillar of design and user experience…and btw, a genuinely nice guy.

The other reason this is such a fun job is that the masterminds of the “Bytes by MSDN” video series are great and talented people from Microsoft and really fun to work with: Julie-Anne Arsenault, Erin Jacobs, and Nora Kelly.  They contract some pretty talented “hollywood people” to do all the filming and production and now after my 3rd go at this, i think I am getting the hang of keeping “mike the director” pleased.

Yesterday I interviewed Victor Gaudioso, Erik Mork, Scott Stanfield, and Ian Muir – all famous technology and design guys in their own right.  Those 4 are 3rd party guys – non MSFT..  Today I interview mostly Microsoft people: Paul Stubbs, Rick Barrazza, Bill Buxton, Scott Hanselman, John Papa, Tim Heuer, and Nishant Kothary.  It is going to be really fun.  And i can already guarantee the outtakes video is going to be hilarious.

I cannot tell you how pleased I am and proud I am to announce that I have finally “manned-up” and stepped down from the CEO role I inherited at InterKnowlogy and executed on making it happen. Today at our all company meeting I announced that Emilie is taking over as CEO of InterKnowlogy.

Many of you know her already…so, to many this is not a surprise. In fact, I have been telling folks this was my plan for a long time. Emilie already runs the company now and does a damn good job of it….much better than I ever could.

I want to delve back into products and that is what I am going to do. There are a number of pretty exciting opportunities out there. it is just going to take a little focus and a lot of work. This promotion frees me up from the day to day operations of InterKnowlogy to do just that. I will still do a ton of guerilla marketing and sales for IK. and I will still drive the technical strategy on the bleeding edge of Microsoft, of course. But, my goal is to diversify the InterKnowlogy business through software products at a number of levels.

Whatever I succeed in executing (or fail in executing) on just remember this: “It’s a Silverlight world. We are just living in it.”

Here is the official press release:

INTERKNOWLOGY NAMES EMILIE HERSH TO SERVE AS CEO

Carlsbad, Calif., 2/10/10 – Tim Huckaby, Founder of InterKnowlogy, a global technology leader in .NET custom software development announced today that he has named Emilie Hersh to serve as the company’s Chief Executive Officer.

Ms. Hersh has served since March of 2006 as Chief Operating Officer of InterKnowlogy.

Prior to her current responsibilities, she was InterKnowlogy’s VP of Sales and Marketing, responsible for enhancing and augmenting the client acquisition & services processes.

Emilie has spent her 20 year career in a range of operations, sales, consulting and project management positions. Upon completion of her MBA at the University of San Diego, she joined the Global Risk Management Services team at PricewaterhouseCoopers, working with the top Fortune 100 companies across the US. From there, she served four years in various leadership positions at Network Insight, which she helped to build into a global leader in network and systems management.

Ms. Hersh said, “InterKnowlogy is truly unique and recognized globally as a leader in the .NET ecosystem. It is one of the world’s great small companies, with a proud history of incredible software innovation and outstanding talent. It’s a great honor to take the helm and have the opportunity to build on its 10 years of success.”

Emilie will take up her new duties on February 10^th and join InterKnowlogy’s newly formed board. She succeeds Tim Huckaby, InterKnowlogy’s current CEO, who has served in that role since 2003. Tim will continue to serve in technical strategy and marketing capacities and serve as chairman of InterKnowlogy’s soon-to-be-named board.

“This announcement will not be a surprise to anyone,” said Tim Huckaby, Founder of InterKnowlogy. “Emilie is already running the company and this promotion simply serves to formalize, arm, and empower her.”

Ms. Hersh’s appointment will free-up Huckaby to diversify InterKnowlogy’s product line by pursuing vertical software product opportunities. “For more than 10 years InterKnowlogy has built a multitude of software products for software companies,” said Huckaby. “We have so much accumulated IP, I am excited to drive a few of these amazing technologies to solutions the world really needs.”

Emilie Hersh biography

Emilie Hersh has led the InterKnowlogy team since 2006, bringing a solid background of consulting, sales, operational and project management expertise to the company.  Having led multi-million dollar engagements for global companies, built out cross-functional teams with a focus on exceptional delivery and exceeding customer expectations, and creating successful sales teams based on her own accomplishments in business development, the addition to the InterKnowlogy team has been wildly beneficial.  Responsible for all aspects of InterKnowlogy’s operations, she also heads up strategic alliances, both within the partner community and the greater business environment.  Emilie has an MBA from the University of San Diego, with a dual emphasis in Project Management and Supply Chain Systems, and is currently a member of the the Alumni Council, where she has successfully increased participation, professional event offerings and the USD network.  Emilie also serves on the steering committee for the Technical Affinity Group for Athena, an organization dedicated to women in technology and the life sciences, currently serving more than 500 members locally.  Passionate about the leading-edge technologies and solutions that are possible based upon InterKnowlogy’s mastery of the .Net stack, the ability to work with customers to help them realize their business goals via the incorporation of highly innovative concepts is one of her favorite portions of her role at InterKnowlogy. Committed to the development of her own team, Emilie supports and mentors all of her team members to ensure that they are aware of and pursuing the professional opportunities in which they are most interested by creating innovative programs within the company, and encouraging others to do the same.
