The time is almost upon us for the next MAJOR Kendo UI release! It’s only been a little more than three months since the last Kendo UI release, but much like the technologies Kendo UI builds-on, we’re moving fast.

To help introduce everyone to the new bits, we will be hosting a big “online keynote” that we’d love to have you attend. Here are the event details:

WHEN: March 22nd @ 11:00 AM EST (permatime)
WHERE: The Internet (it’s a cool place)
WHY: Kendo UI Q1 2012 Official Release
WHO: You, your friends, and a bunch of other cool cats

To register for this event, visit the official registration page and punch-in your info. We’ll send you a reminder before the event begins, but register now so you don’t miss out on the fun and prizes.

“PRIZES?!” you ask. But of course. This is a big release, so it calls for big prizes!

The Keynote Raffle Prizes

We are excited about this release, so we’re giving away some cool prizes for people that join us for the live online keynote. Here’s what will be up for grabs:

• (1) Grand Prize: Kendo UI Mobile Device Pack
  
  How do you fully experience the power of Kendo UI Mobile’s auto-adapting mobile UI? You give away a “Device Pack” with an iPad, iPod Touch, Android Galaxy Tab, and Blackberry PlayBook! One lucky live attendee will get all of these devices along with a Kendo UI Complete license. (We’ll reveal a way to win a second Device Pack during the live event, too.)
  
• (2) Custom-etched HTML5 logo iPad Smart Covers
  
  Show-off your HTML5 street-cred with this custom laser-etched iPad Smart Cover (iPad not included, image simulated).
• (100) Kendo UI Complete commercial licenses
  Get everything Kendo UI has to offer with a license that you can use in any of your projects and professional support from the Kendo UI Team.

The only thing you need to do for your chance at winning is register for the webinar and then join us for the live event on March 22! You must attend the live event to be included in the prize raffle. We’ll notify all winners via email after the event concludes and tweet-out the winners on Kendo UI’s twitter feed.

The Keynote Content

As a major release, the Q1 2012 bits will contain updates for all of Kendo UI (Web, DataViz, Mobile). You can learn more about what’s coming by reviewing the recent Kendo UI Q1 2012 beta. In the live webinar, we’ll cover the highlights and show-off some cool demos of Kendo UI in-action. We’ll also share more on the licensing for Kendo UI Mobile, DataViz, and the new Kendo UI Complete (the bundle that includes everything Kendo UI).

Of course, as the official release for v1 of Kendo UI Mobile, we’ll spend some extra time introducing you to Kendo UI Mobile and showing-off the many ways it can help you build apps with HTML5 and JavaScript. It’ll be fun.

At the end of the keynote, we’ll hold an extended Q&A to address as many of your questions as we can so you can jump-in with Kendo UI Q1 2012 right away.

Register Now (and tell your friends)

That’s it. It’s an hour loaded with prizes, info, demos, and all the candy HTML and JavaScript have to offer. We hope you’ll join, and we’d really appreciate it if you’d invite at least one of your HTML5 friends to join, too.

Register now to save your seat in the Kendo UI Q1 2012 Online Keynote!

(NOTE: We’ve changed webcast systems for Q1, so we should now be able to welcome everyone during the live event and not cap live attendees at 1,000. If you register, you should be able to attend!)
