Adobe Flex User Group Tour – Denver

We’re happy to be a part of the Adobe User Group Roadshow this year. If you’re not sure what we’re talking about, Adobe announced the dates and locations (US only so far) of their international User Group Road Show. We’re stoked that Denver is on the list and that the RMAUG and RIA 5280 are co-hosting, you can RSVP here. This will be a great pre-curser to 360|Flex (also in Denver) in April.

These road shows are great opportunities to meet Adobeans who don’t usually make the User Group Circuit and really get a feel for the community. Adobe chips in some money for beer and food, so these meetings are usually a bit bigger and more of a “Thing” than your average user group meeting. You’ll have a chance to talk one-on-one with Adobe engineers and evangelists. Something that doesn’t happen often outside of conferences.

They’re always fun. Always a great learning experience. Get the latest details on the open sourcing of Adobe into the Apache foundation, and probably some good tidbits on the next Flash builder… just a guess :)

We’re happy to be providing two tickets to 360|Flex 2012 to be raffled off during the meeting as well, so if you’re still on the fence (really we can’t fathom that, but you never know) about attending the most awesome event in the Flex/AIR/ActionScript space, you’ll have two chances to win a free ticket.

 

Make sure you RSVP so that the organizers know how much food and beer to get. And if you don’t want to take your chances on winning a free ticket, register now for 360|Flex 2012 before it sells out. It did last year.

360Flex 2012 – web banners show your love

So we whipped up two banners for those who might (and you should, come on!) show their support of 360|Flex 2012.

You can get two sizes (138×138, or 728×90) just right click and save the linked file.

We appreciate everyone who puts a banner on their site to show their support of the conference. Every site is a huge help in our grassroots marketing efforts!

 

Thanks! See you April! Register now before we sell out.

360Flex 2012 – Angry Birds

Wanna save $150 bucks on your ticket to 360|Flex 2012? Get it before this friday at 10am. We don’t call it early bird, we call it the Faithful ticket, but it’s pretty much the same thing as far as the price goes.

 

And when it’s over it’s over. We don’t extend early bird, we don’t have early early bird, followed by early bird, followed by slightly late bird. We have the Faithful ticket, and the regular price ticket. That’s it.

We don’t extend the Faithful ticket because it’s not fair to those who bought it early. When conference extend early bird pricing it’s a ploy. They need more sales, and are trying to lure you in. Usually it’s because their conference costs too much, and they sell mostly early bird tickets :)

If you buy a Faithful ticket, you’re using your wallet to show us your love, to make sure we know we have the communities support early on, it’s a big help in getting the conference planned, etc. After that the regular (and still way affordable) ticket price kicks in.

We also don’t extend the Faithful ticket price because the regular price isn’t so bad as to need it. We don’t charge $1000 or $1500. it’s $599 if you buy your ticket right before the conference (assuming we don’t sell out, which I think we will again).  The Faithful ticket was created to help out our indie dev friends who are super budget conscious. They don’t have expense accounts and even though their company might be paying for the ticket, their company is them. We realize many of our attendees come to 360|Flex on their own dime and the Faithful ticket was a way to help them out.

While making a profit is important to us, our community being able to afford to attend the conference is a big deal.

So all that was said to really emphasize the point that if you want to save some money on your ticket to 360|Flex 2012, buy your ticket today. Tomorrow at 10am the price goes up to the regular price, and that’s that. No amount of crying will bring back the Faithful price.

Register now!

See you in Denver.
