Adobe User Group XL, Amsterdam, Dec 3rd – Win 1 of 5 tickets!

by Serge Jespers on 23. Nov, 2009 in Events

This movie requires Flash Player 8

I am extremely proud to see how well the Dutch Adobe User Group is doing. Proud to see how fast they have grown from a dormant user group to the group that it is today. Every single meeting is very well organized and always sold out with over 250 attendees.

On December 3rd (a little over 9 days from now), they are raising the bar for themselves by organizing the Adobe User Group XL event. The speaker list is very impressive and I really hope I can catch some of the sessions myself. I’m really eager to see what Ralph Hauwert has been up to. He’s been teasing his Twitter followers with little sneaks of his new 3D engine and I really can’t wait to see more. I’m also looking forward to OOO-ii’s session. These guys must have the coolest job ever. They build all the cool screens you see in Hollywood blockbusters like Star Trek and Minority Report and they use Flash to build them. And then I’m not even talking about the sessions by Group94, Layar, De Monsters, PowerFlasher and all the other speakers. This is really going to be a fantastic event and tickets only cost €75!

While I think the ticket price is well worth it, I did manage to get 5 free tickets. Want one? I’ll make this easy for you. ;-) Point your browser to the Adobe User Group XL website and write down the names of 5 speakers (speaker names, not companies) as a comment to this post. The five first commenters win! (Don’t forget to add your real email address) Well… That didn’t take long :D Congrats to Jolijn, Hans, Marien, Marc and Bart.

See you in Amsterdam!

ColdFusion on tour – SOTR Europe

by Serge Jespers on 07. Sep, 2009 in ColdFusion, Events

coldfusion.jpg-jpeg-image-253x250-pixels-1.jpgAfter a very successful and fun tour though the UK, SOTR is now going to mainland Europe. Most of you  know that my love for ColdFusion is growing with every project I do using it. I think you can really only appreciate ColdFusion after getting a taste of it and SOTR is the perfect place to get that taste. With SOTR Europe being a free event, there really is no excuse to not be there. ;-)

Hope to see you in Munich, Zurich, Milan, Amsterdam, Brussels or London!

360flexMilan
If you haven’t heard, 360Flex is coming to Milan. What I particularly like about this event is that it has an impressive speaker list that has a great mix of well established names but also a bunch of cool new names. Marco Casario, Sakri Rosenstrom, Greg Wilson, Enrique Duvos, Weyert de Boer and Rostislav Hristov are just a sample of the exciting speakers presenting in Milan.

If you have been thinking about going to 360Flex but haven’t yet registered, maybe this can help you change your mind. If you register now and use the code “adobelove” and you’ll get 10% off!

First leg of onAIR tour sold out but Paris capacity expanded

by Serge Jespers on 20. Mar, 2008 in AIR, Events

onair tourJust over a week ago, I asked you guys to register for the Brussels stop of the onAIR tour because we (us Belgians) were in last position. I am happy to announce that we actually doubled the registrations last week and have actually sold out now! So thank you all for creating the buzz and for registering! I’m looking forward to see you all there!

Actually, all events in the first leg of the tour are now sold out but we have expanded the capacity for the Paris event. Paris is only about an hour and a half from London and Brussels with the train so that may be an option if you couldn’t make it to those events. And there’s also the second leg of the tour which starts in Stockholm on June 2nd.

The tour starts in exactly 10 days now and I have to say that I’m really looking forward to it. There’s something very appealing to taking the train all across Europe with your fellow evangelist friends and I’m sure we’ll have lots of fun and a ton of great stories to tell and we all have Flip camera’s in our backpack so I’m pretty sure there will be also be a lot of incriminating video footage to share :D

UPDATE: Paris has sold out again.

Calling all Belgians: We are in last place in onAIR-tour registrations

by Serge Jespers on 11. Mar, 2008 in AIR, Events

onAIR train pixelI know… The title is a bit dramatic but really… Being Belgian, it obvious that I would like to change that. So, if you haven’t registered for the free onAIR event in Brussels, now may be a good time to do so :-) So head on down to the registration page to register for the April 7th event with Mike Chambers, Kevin Hoyt, Danny Dura, Andrew Shorten, Oliver Goldman, Andre Charland, Lee Brimelow, myself and special guests Peter Elst and Nicolas Lierman.

Check out the full schedule of the day. Hope to see you there!
