Upcoming events: DroidCon, Beyond Tellerrand, FITC Amsterdam
Can you believe that we’re already 11 days in to 2011? My god… time flies! At this rate it’ll be Christmas again next week! My calendar for the first couple of months of 2011 is already filling up rapidly and I’m sure it’ll be the same for you. That’s exactly why I wanted to point out these events that are scheduled for the next coming weeks.
January 21st is the second edition of DroidCon Belgium. As you may have guessed, DroidCon is all about Android. The quick to-the-point 15 minute presentation format will ensure a complete information overload! Tickets are €75 (€25 for students) and are still available.
Beyond Tellerrand is a completely new conference in Cologne Germany organized by the wonderful people behind FFK. This event will be their first conference dedicated to mobile application development. They have a special deal for those who would like to go to both Beyond Tellerrand and FFK. Tomorrow is also the last chance to get an early bird ticket ($50 off) for Beyond Tellerrand! Get it now! (I wonder what Tellerrand actually means ;-))
FITC is always a lot of fun and is coming back to Amsterdam! This year it’s in a different but much bigger venue! Early bird ticket sales end this week so if you didn’t get your ticket yet you better get it today!
UPDATE: You may also be interested in Scotch on the Rocks in Edinburgh on March 3rd and 4th. I’m not speaking there this year but the Fuzzy Oranges are a great bunch and I’m sure they’ll put on another fantastic event.
Upcoming events: WIF, MWC, FITC, FFK10
While the next coming months are going to be a little bit hectic, I am really looking forward to it. I’m especially looking forward to seeing you guys at these events.
WIF – February 5th & 6th – Namur, Belgium – http://www.wif-dogstudio.be/
WIF (Webdesign International Festival) is a worldwide event and this will be the first one in Belgium. It may sound strange to some of you, but I don’t speak at events in my backyard that much. Even though I live in Belgium, the majority of my speaking engagements are abroad. So it’s obvious that I am looking forward to this one. Maybe this one even more as it is the first event (to my knowledge) in the French speaking part of Belgium. I’ll be doing a keynote session at the end of the first day… right before the bar opens up ;-)
Mobile World Congress – February 15th-18th, Barcelona, Spain – http://www.mobileworldcongress.com
I already talked about MWC last week but let me repeat that I am very excited about MWC this year. If you’re a developer interested in mobile application development and interested in checking out MWC, then visit http://www.adobe.com/go/mwc2010. We’re offering Flash Platform developers a limited number of complimentary exhibition visitor passes (a value of € 599 per person) on a first-come, first-served basis.
FITC – February 22nd-23rd – Amsterdam, The Netherlands – http://www.fitc.ca
FITC starts just a few days after MWC so it’s obvious you can expect some cool mobile demos in the FITC keynote (along with other cool stuff of course ;-)). I’m also doing a session on AIR 2 and all the new features it has to offer. I will show a bunch of code snippets and how to use them in real applications.
FFK10 – April 13th-16th – Cologne, Germany – http://ffk10.flashforum.de
This event is three months from now, but tickets are going fast! This will be my third year at FFK10 and it’s always great fun. Sascha and Marc always do a great job putting this event together. This year will be their 10th anniversary and I promise to bring something cool to the keynote ;-)
If you’re going to be at one of these events, feel free to ping me and to come and say “Hi”. Hope to see you there!
