Adobe India conducted "RIA Leadership Summit" on 25th Oct 2007. This is a major event well attended by over 120 technologists and decision makers from major corporate in India. The session started with a welcome address by Naresh Gupta, the Managing Director and head of Adobe India. The major highlight of the event is the key note by Shantanu Narayen, President and COO of Adobe Systems. Shantanu articulated the importance of "Engagement as a business imperative", different forms and modes of engagement and introduced the Rich Internet Applications as a major means of engagement. It was very exciting to hear the major advances in RIA technology, in particular, the Adobe Integrated Runtime (AIR formerly called Apollo). There were both on stage as well as stall demos which were very absorbing. In particular, the data visualization demos, mash up builder and the mobile demos attracted everyone. In all, it was a very absorbing evening that had many takeaways for the participants with diverse background.
