KHRONOS GROUP LAUNCHES PAN PACIFIC ROAD SHOW 2012

Attend an information-packed session in a city near you!

Khronos Group growth continues to be significant and demonstrates the huge opportunity we share as members of this highly specialized industry. Throughout 2012, Khronos is hosting a series of media events, educational sessions and F2F meetings for consortium members and prospective clients. The Khronos Pan Pacific Road Show 2012 is devoted to our members and colleagues in the Pan Pacific region with a focus on education and training. The cornerstone of our tour will be the launch of a major educational initiative with worldwide support, including web based collaboration and certified education. In addition to the educational sessions about technology, participants will hear from leaders and guest speakers from within the industry. We are very pleased to include Dr. Jon Peddie and Kathleen Maher, industry leading analysts from JPR, as a guest speakers at most of these events.

WHICH SESSION SHOULD I ATTEND?

In order to determine which is the right session for you to attend, we offer several venues under the educational banner:

  • “DevU” sessions are for Programmers, Engineers, and OEMs of PC and Mobile devices to learn how to *use* Khronos APIS
  • “KITE Training Sessions” are for professors, grad students and researchers to learn how to *teach* Khronos APIs to their students
  • “KITE Local Chapter” Meetings are for professors & grad students to learn about how to get involved in KITE educational certification
  • “Press Conferences” refer to stand alone events and the Press are encouraged to hear Khronos Overview in first 90 minutes of DevU
