Steve Wozniak will be one of the speakers at the next Intel Developer Forum (IDF) held August 19-21 at the Moscone Center West in San Francisco, according to MacsimumNews. The subject of debate will be "Crossing the chasm between humans and machines". Schedule and other sessions are disclosed below.

More than 180 leading companies will feature hands-on demonstrations of their newest innovations and future technologies at the IDF Technology Showcase, spanning sessions like "Inspiring innovation," "Where will 'on-the-go' go?", "MIDs: platform for innovation," "I love TV," and "Developing for the future of computing".

"Intel Developer Forum (IDF) is where Intel and the ecosystem come together to share their latest innovations and vision for the future of technology," says Intel. "Come hear industry news, learn about trends, and discover opportunities to integrate what is discussed into your projects."

Some of the reasons one could be interested to attend the IDF include the chance to hear breaking news from senior Intel leaders in the seven Forum Keynotes, accessing more than 170 hours of invaluable expert training on the latest processor technologies, digital enterprise, ultra mobility, software etc., and discussing technology with the companies present at the Technology Showcase. "If you are ready to develop the next innovative product, to maximize the capabilities of your current projects, to invent the new reality, your next action is clear: register for IDF today," Intel advises.

Steve Wozniak, aka "Woz," will speak on Day 3 of the IDF alongside Justin Rattner, Intel chief technology officer, about "Crossing the Chasm between Humans and Machines". On the same day, Dr. Moira Gunn of NPR's "Tech Nation" and "BioTech Nation" will have "a candid conversation with one of the most influential pioneers of the technology industry," according to CDRinfo.

Steve Wozniak is an American computer engineer and the co-founder of Apple Computer, now known as Apple Inc. He has contributed greatly to the personal computer revolution of the 1970s, creating the Apple I and Apple II computers in the mid-1970s, with the latter gaining a good dose of popularity, eventually becoming one of the best selling personal computers of its time.
