Upcoming events

The next few weeks are getting pretty full again but I wouldn’t want it any other way! I have some really amazing conferences/events on my calendar and wanted to share with you where I’ll be the next coming weeks.

  • Flex Camp Amsterdam – September 22nd – Amsterdam, The Netherlands
    I’ll be talking about AIR for Android. I’ll be showing a bunch of cool demos and will obviously also show you how you can build applications.
     
  • Sneak Preview – September 24th – Genk, Belgium
    I’ll be talking about Flash and HTML5. I’ll talk about both technologies’ strengths and weaknesses and hope to debunk some of the myths surrounding them.
     
  • AppsMarathon – September 27th – Brussels, Belgium
    The future is mobile! At AppsMarathon I’ll be talking about Flash Player 10.1 and AIR on Android and how you build apps for mobile using the Flash Platform (and maybe/probably some other stuff as well ;-))
     
  • Flash On The Beach – September 27th-29th – Brighton, UK
    Flash On The Beach is one of my favorite conferences. Due to unforeseen circumstances I had to miss it last year but I’ll make sure that never happens again! FOTB is due to sell out today so hurry up if you still need to get your tickets! I’ll be doing a session on AIR 2 and will also do a “beyond the basics” hands on session on Tuesday and Wednesday on Flash Catalyst.
     
  • AUG Belgium – September 30th – Genk, Belgium
    The Belgian Adobe Usergroup is doing a special “After Summer” event. I’ll be talking about something I can’t talk about yet. ;-) More on that later.
     
  • Adobe MAX – October 23rd-27th, Los Angeles, USA
    I know I probably say this every year but… MAX is going to be fantastic this year. Don’t have your tickets yet? Early bird pricing ends in 5 days!
     

I hope to see you at (at least) one of these events!

And the winners are…

As you probably know by now, Flash On The Beach is in just 1 week time and is completely sold out. Luckily we were able to get a hold of the last tickets and asked you to be creative with the “beach” theme and the AIR, Flash, Flex, ColdFusion, Adobe logos. Here are the winners who all get a full conference pass to Flash On The Beach in Brighton. I’m sure you’ll agree that these clearly are winners. Congrats to all of them and see you in Brighton!

FOTB is sold out! Get the last tickets here… for free!

Flash On The Beach is now just 2 weeks away and is also officially sold out. If you were too late in getting your tickets, this is your last chance to get one… for free!

The only thing you have to do is get a little creative! A couple of weeks ago, Adobe’s European platform evangelist team launched this contest. Although the deadline was officially last week, we want to give you guys a little bit more time to get creative and win your ticket for FOTB especially since it’s now sold out and these are the last available tickets out there. So we’re extending the deadline until Wednesday September 17, 1pm CET. That same afternoon we’ll announce the winners.

I got to tell you that the competition is already pretty strong. So get creative and see you at Flash On The Beach!

Photoshop your way to Flash On The Beach

fotb_logo_small.jpgFlash On The Beach is only 5 weeks and 5 days away and (as always) the community is really buzzing about the impressive speaker list that includes Flash-rockstars like Erik Natzke, Grant Skinner, Joa Ebert and Branden Hall to name a few. Like last year, FOTB is likely going to sell out a few weeks before the event and if you didn’t get your tickets yet, you might want to hurry and get them now. AND/OR you may want to take your chance and enter this competition.

The European platform evangelism team is giving away 6 (in total) conference passes (a £499/€633 value) to Flash On The Beach 08. The only thing you have to do is get creative! Photograph or Photoshop yourself on the beach showing off your love for Flash, Flex, AIR, ColdFusion, … Upload your creation here before September 8, 2008 and each of us will pick our favorite entry. That person wins a full pass to Flash On The Beach 08. We will announce the winners on our blogs on September 12th!
