SAN FRANCISCO--(Business Wire)--
Intel Corporation`s largest technical conference returns to San Francisco on
Sept. 22-24. Registration is now underway for the Intel Developer Forum,

In its 12th year, IDF focuses on Intel`s technology and platform roadmap
directions for the next year and beyond in the areas of digital enterprise,
mobility, digital home, software, manufacturing and research. 

"IDF is the place to be for thousands of developers, technologists and business
managers to learn where technology is going, enabling them to develop product
strategies," said Mark Erwin, general manager of the event that drew more than
5,000 attendees last year in San Francisco. "In every conference room, every
corridor, every nook of the conference brilliant minds meet, collaborate and
learn from one another. It`s also where major announcements are made, which is
one of the reasons the event is covered onsite by nearly 600 of the world`s top
journalists and analysts." 

Intel leaders will delve into key strategies on myriad topics during all three
days. CEO and President Paul Otellini will kick off the opening day keynote
slate with a leadership address. Next up is Pat Gelsinger, senior vice president
and general manager, Digital Enterprise Group, discussing "Intel Architecture
Innovates and Integrates."Bob Baker, senior vice president and general manager,
Technology and Manufacturing Group, will share insights on "Silicon Leadership:
Delivering Innovation in High Volume." 

Day 2 keynotes are "The Mobile Computing Revolution" by David Perlmutter,
executive vice president and general manager, Mobility Group; "Developing for
the Full Spectrum of Computing" by Renee James, vice president and general
manager, Software and Services Group; and "The Architecture of Television
Innovation," by Eric Kim, senior vice president and general manager, Digital
Home Group. 

The anchor keynote on Day 3, "The Future of Mobile and Immersive Computing
Experiences," will be delivered by Justin Rattner, Intel senior Fellow and vice
president, and Intel Labs director and chief technology officer. 

A special event on Tuesday evening will be a concert by three-time Grammy
Award-winning Maroon 5. One of the most successful bands to emerge this decade,
Maroon 5 has more than 15 million in worldwide sales and a remarkable string of
hit singles, including "Makes Me Wonder," "Wake Up Call," "Won`t Go Home Without
You" and the band`s first Top 10 hit, "This Love." Admission to the concert is
