360MAX, come present at Adobe MAX (Sorta)

Well 360|Flex has come and gone for the year, BUT there’s one more chance to enjoy the special brand of awesome we bring to things :)

 

We’ve been invited back to Adobe MAX this year to host 360|MAX. The Call for papers is currently open, so go submit something awesome!

To make sure there’s no confusion. Speaking at 360|MAX does not mean you get into Adobe MAX for free. In fact you have to have an Adobe MAX pass to present. We do have a few expo only passes, so if you submit a topic and can’t afford to attend MAX, we might be able to help you out

 

360|MAX takes place all three days of MAX in the community pavilion, and sessions are 50 minutes. The goal of 360|MAX is to bring a bit of the 360|Flex community feel to MAX. Sessions outside the norm, or talking about things Adobe doesn’t or can’t talk as much about.

 

What’re you waiting for? GO submit a topic!

 

See you in LA in October!

360MAX – Session recordings, 360|Flex Denver super discount

Wanted to make sure to post this before we fly out to LA for Adobe MAX!

1. We’ll be recording the sessions, and posting them on the sessions recordings page as quickly as we can. Hopefully while we’re at MAX! Keep an eye on the session recordings page.

2. If you know you plan to join us in Denver this coming spring (Exact Dates TBA), AND you’re at MAX next week, come by the 360|MAX Unconference area and pick up a super cheap ticket. We’ve done this before, and it’s popular with our strongest fans. If attending 360|Flex 2011 Denver is a foregone conclusion, then you should jump at this offer. Early tickets to 360|Flex are typically $499. After that the regular price of $599 kicks in. Well if you’re at MAX, and like I said, you know you plan to join us in Denver, then make sure you stop by. We’ll be selling 360|Flex 2011 Denver tickets for $250!!! That’s a huge savings! It’s a great deal off the early price, and a crazy deal off the regular price.

It’s our way of 1. thanking folks for coming to Adobe MAX, and 2 showing some of our fans some love. Don’t worry the ticket is completely 100% refundable. If we announce the dates, and you can’t make it, just let us know and we’ll refund the ticket price. Tickets are always transferable too, so if you can’t make it and want to give someone else the awesome deal, by all means! All you have to do is let us know who the new owner of the ticket is! It’s that Simple!

Remember, Flex isn’t just something to make money off of as an additional conference or track. 360|Flex exists and was started because we love the Flex community, and want to be as active a part as we can in helping it grow and be more awesome!

There’s really no downside to picking up one of these tickets, but there are downsides to not getting one.

1. 360|Flex in 2011 will be 1 time only. In Denver in the spring, that’s it. We won’t be doing a fall conference. The likely hood of the conference selling out is much greater now, because there’s not a second show to attend if you miss the Spring show.

2. We’re planning around more realistic numbers, which means selling out is much more likely, and better for everyone. Selling out ensures financial success for the conference and ensures we can be around to do another 360|Flex.

Don’t miss out. 2011 is gonna be THE YEAR OF 360|Flex, and missing it will suck for you ;) Oh and remember, spring is usually the time when we’re getting early christmas presents from Adobe… :)

See you there!

360MAX – Rock Band on a big screen

Monday night at 5pm, the Community Pavilion will be doing it’s Open House. This is a great time to walk around before the nights’ party. It’s also a great time to drop by the 360|MAX unconference (or stay, since really you were there watching a presentation!!) For some Rock Band on our big screen.

I’m bringing our Rock Band setup, the PS3, and penty of games (Rock Band, Guitar Hero, etc) It’s gonna be a great time!!

Make sure you come to the community pavilion before 5 (They close it while setting but, but whoever is in, can stay in) grab a beer over at the FITC unconference booth, and head over to 360|MAX for some Rock Band Rockin’ Out!

See you there!

360MAX – The Schedule

I’m hoping the 360|MAX line up makes it into the MAX Scheduler soon, but in the meantime, here’s the line up.

I went with 60 minute slots this time because I wanted to emphasize quality of quantity. The last two MAX’s it always felt really rushed to have speakers jam content into 30 minutes or less and have no time for talking to attendees. So rather than speed round it, like we’ve done in the past, we’re doing fewer, longer sessions. I’m really excited for this line up!
