The official MAX website went live this week at http://max.adobe.com/na/experience/. It has an annoying auto-play video, but otherwise is pretty cool. You can view the list of sessions, register for the conference, etc.

One thing that the official site doesn't provide is general information about San Francisco. For example, the site says that the conference hotels do not provide shuttles from the airport, but then leaves it up to attendees to figure out how then they are supposed to get from the airport to the conference. In response to this, myself along with several other local user group managers including Sean Corfield, Luke Kilpatrick, Mark Altenbernd, and Seth Duffey have been putting together the MAX information site. It's already got a lot of great information about how to get to San Francisco, what to do when you're there, where to eat, where to shop, etc.

The information site is a work-in-progress, and will be right up until MAX in November. There's a suggestion box on the site where you go put your own ideas if you're a local or just know of great places to eat or things to do, or you can leave comments here and I'll get them put up on the site.
