GoingNative 11: Inside Fresh Paint - A C++ + XAML + DirectX Windows Store App

Join the Microsoft Visual C++ and Windows teams in Redmond on May 18, 2012 for a free, all-day event focused on building Windows 8 Metro style apps with C++.
These Windows-specific talks will use both portable ISO C++ and Visual C++-specific compiler extensions; for brevity below we'll refer to both as "C++" (i.e., this day is about Visual C++, not Visual C# or JavaScript).
We will have pragmatic advice for every developer writing Metro style apps and games with XAML and/or DirectX and C++.
This event is sold out. However, it will stream live right here on Channel 9! Tune in on May 18, 2012, 8:00AM PDT.
Do native code Metro apps have to be available in ARM, x86 and x64?
Greetings,
Can the Event be followed online?
and
will the materials be available for download ?
And also,
will we be able to use DirectX and WinRT on Windows phone 8 also?
tnx

@Larry Seltzer: Native apps have to be compiled to target the underlying machine architectures, yes. Is that your question? ( So, if you want a native app to run on ARM, then you need to compile for ARM. WinRT doesn't solve that problem automagically... )

@Charles : Thanks for making it available online.
Very nice, looking forward to see the recordings.
Is holding this event a recent decision? I'm asking because in a recent vcblog post a lot of people expressed that they currently don't care much about Metro. I'm wondering if this event is being held because of that.
@Charles:I think he asked - in case I like to upload my native C++ app to store, then I have to make it available (i.e. compile it) for all x86, x64 and ARM platforms?
