I wanted to double check the details around the eBay DevCon later this month, and noticed that the keynote speaker lineup is pretty impressive. In addition to speeches and presentations by John Donahoe, eBay President and CEO; Mark Carges, CTO and SVP of Global Platform at eBay; and Lorrie Norrington, President of eBay Marketplaces; the conference also boasts the following Silicon Valley visionaries and venture capitalists:

- John Hagel, Co-Chairman, Deloitte Center for the Edge
- Mark Gorenberg, Managing Director, Hummer Winblad Venture Partners
- Rob Hayes, Partner, First Round Capital
- Sergio Monsalve, Partner, Norwest Venture Partners
- Ravi Mohan, Managing Director, Shasta Ventures
- Charlene Li, Founder, Altimeter Group

Looking at the schedule, the only problem I seem to be faced with is determining which of the tracks to attend at a given time. For those of you unable to go, take a look and let me know which presentations are of most interest so I can live-blog from those via Twitter.

I’ll be live-blogging all day June 16 and 17. Let me know if you’re attending so we can connect.

Conference Highlights
* Education – You’ve got skills. We’ve got hundreds of ways to take them to the next level, including sessions, labs, training and our impromptu “hallway” track where you swap tips and tricks with your peers. Don’t forget your laptop!
* Inspiration – Want to know where our industry is going? We’ve lined up several e-commerce visionaries, including some of our senior executives and other industry leaders, who will share their insights and inspire you to greater heights.
* Networking – Big ideas often start with a conversation over a frosty beverage and some sketches on the back of a napkin. That’s why we have tons of networking opportunities, including our ever-popular Beer Bash and PayPal After Party!
* Cool tools! – Need a competitive advantage, or just an excuse to check out all the latest gadgets? We’ve got hundreds of developer support tools and solutions on display that can help you be more productive.

Because this year’s conference is taking place at the eBay North Campus in San Jose I’m also hoping to organize a meet up for folks near our offices so we can catch up over a beer or two. It will be great to put names to faces.
