- Guest Speaker, Mike Pell, Microsoft, on the Birth of Adobe Acrobat
Mike Pell leads the User Experience team for MSN Mobile at Microsoft Corporation, where he is helping to redefine wireless data services for communications and information.
Widely recognized as a world-class software designer and visionary for his work developing interactive 3D interfaces for business, Mike has worked in a myriad of roles over his 19-year career in the software industry, going from programmer to executive and back.
A constant through that time has been his focus on the customer and user experience aspects of software, beginning with one of the earliest Macintosh ease-of-use utilities called MenuFonts in 1985, through his pioneering work on the original Adobe Acrobat in the early 1990's, 3D interface design in the late 1990's, and now onto the future of business and personal communication via mobile webservices on cell phones.
