Adobe MAX moved from San Francisco to Los Angeles this year (http://max.adobe.com/).  The event runs from October 4-7.  In case anyone attended the event back before Adobe acquired Macromedia it used to be called Macromedia MAX.  Since Adobe’s acquisition Adobe has added a ton of creative content and sessions to mix in with the traditional developer heavy tracks.  If you you want to attend one of the largest creative events in North America you can sign up and join over 5000 other creative professionals and developers.

We have merged PhotoshopTechniques.com and the Mogo-Media.com forums into one of the largest Adobe Creative Suite user community on the web.   Please stop by and check out the forums and see what is happening.  Come with questions and we will get you answers.  If you have a MOGO Membership  your same username and password will work.  Log in now.
