360Flex 2012 Schedule

This was one of the hardest schedules to put together. They’re always hard, with more than 100 submissions and less than 40 spots to fill, it’s a tough process. Add to that the recent changes around Flex and Flash, and the job of making sure 360|Flex 2012 is relevant got much harder.

This time around, I enlisted the help of a few folks whom I trust a great deal; Ben Clinkinbeard, Jeffry Houser and Sim Bateman. We balanced providing what you’d expect from us (awesome cutting edge concepts around Flex and AIR), with some new stuff to make sure the community knows what the Adobe stack is all about, what options are out there for doing HTML stuff, and mobile stuff, etc.. It was a tough balancing act for sure. I think we did a pretty good job of creating a rock star line up. Highlighting what’s awesome kick ass with Flex and AIR, while also talking about mobile options, HTML a little, and more.

You’ll notice two things on the schedule that are kind of new.

  1. Paid sunday training. There’s still free training on Sunday don’t worry. However we also want to try something new. Offering 2 full day hands on training classes, in addition to two free Sunday classes. Each paid class is 8 hours of hands-on learning. Space is limited in each one, so if you’re interested in getting some awesome hands-on training for a 360|Flex style price (hint: 1 class is $100 the other is $145 but you get an arduino kit) then you should register for those as well. You have to be a 360|Flex attendee to take  part in the training. There’s registration links on the schedule.
  2. An empty column. That column is for sponsored sessions and late additions. Once we start filling in that column, we’ll move the content so it’s not all in one room, but we intentionally left space for late additions to the line up. Normally I pack the schedule, then have to juggle sessions, etc. Getting a little smarter :) We’ll be adding a bunch of content between now and April, so stay tuned.

So with that said, take a peak at the schedule.

See you in April. Register now!

    (FYI, the session-details link on the schedule page currently shows the details for the 2011 conference).
