As noted, there are still a small num­ber of speaker slots we are fill­ing — hunt­ing down the very best experts we can from around the globe on the sub­jects we think are of most press­ing inter­est to you. So, we are very excited to be able to announce that Mike ™ Smith (yes, the TM is part of his name), co-​​chair of the HTML5 Working group, will be doing an in-​​depth HTML5 ori­ented ses­sion at Web Directions!

Prior to work­ing at the W3C, Mike worked for OpenWave, and Opera, “involved with design, devel­op­ment, test­ing, and deploy­ment of soft­ware for mobile operators”.

I recently had the plea­sure of speak­ing on the same bill as Mike in Tokyo, and he’s a fas­ci­nat­ing, knowl­edge­able, enter­tain­ing speaker. So, if you want to get up to speed with HTML5, then Mike’s ses­sion will be the best place to do that.

Mike will also be speak­ing at the W3C Special inter­est group day, held in con­junc­tion with Web Directions South again this year along with a range of inter­na­tional and local experts.

Thanks to the W3C Australia Office for help­ing bring Mike to Australia, and their ongo­ing support.
