360flex – Spread the word, earn some money!

June 25, 2010 By

I’m trying something new.

I’ve created a badge for the conference, grab it here.

It’s a smaller version of what you see on the left there.

Make money you say? Yeah I had this idea the other day, and figured, you know it doesn’t hurt to give a little something back to those that help me out.

I ask a lot of the community, I realize that. I can’t ever stop expressing my gratitude to the Flash/Flex/AIR community, ya’ll are truly awesome. So this experiment is my attempt to give something back.

This link is to an eventbrite affiliate program. You do need to sign up for an eventbrite account, sorry but how else will they be able to pay you?

It’s easy, just

  1. get the badge
  2. sign up (if you don’t want some coin, skip this step)
  3. put the badge up on your site (with the link or without).
  4. Done. If folks click the badge, and register, you get $25. Each time.

That’s it. See you in Washington DC

360Flex – The east coast is tough!

June 14, 2010 By

We’ve promised the east coast crowd, an honest to god east coast 360|Flex since… well since our first event back in ’07

We’re keeping that promise, finally, but it sure ain’t easy! The east coast is expensive, for an event like 360|Flex. We don’t charge a lot to get in, and most hotels costs more than the price of a ticket to 360|Flex. That’s hard to think about, staying at the hotel for the event is more than the event. At least bigger events, it’s even, which makes it less noticable :)

THAT SAID. We’re really close to locking in a hotel that should do nicely for 360|Flex, and still keep to our not breaking the bank mentality. I sure can’t wait to see how an east coast 360|Flex is responded to, it will certainly dictate whether there’s any more… no pressure :)

Stay tuned, the next day or two will see the announcement of time, location, and call for papers. Don’t miss out!

In the meantime, make sure to check out the session videos from 360|Flex San Jose and RIAdvanture. Some truly great stuff there!
