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!

We could fill a week or two with the great submissions we got for 360|Flex 2011, but unfortunately only have so much room. Luckily the RMAUG crew is hosting a few of those sessions we couldn’t accept in a special 1 day only add on room on Monday. Go check out the line up!

Just another reason your money and the experience itself go farther at 360|Flex ;)

Monday night in the tradition of many a 360|Flex, we’ve got the Flex team in the house to answer questions, hang out, tell secrets*, etc. : ) They’ll be gathered ’round to meet the community, get your thoughts and feedback.

*For the ‘secrets’ part you might need to bring them a beer or three, but it can be done :)

Tuesday night, our local User Group, the Rocky Mountain Adobe User Group, is hosting a BOF.

Join the RMAUG crew Tuesday night for “Open Screen Project: Views from the Trenches”

It’s the first half of 2011 and Adobe’s Open Screen Project initiative has started to really gather some momentum. From a vision of grandeur to the assimilation of a number of different devices and form factors, the Open Screen Project is well on it’s way to becoming a fully realized reality. From Windows, Mac, Linux, to Android, QNX, iOS, and WebOS Adobe has significantly increased the audience consuming ActionScript-based applications on devices from Desktop, web, tablet, mobile, and TV. Come hear how this initiative looks from the eyes of your peers, fellow ActionScript and Flex developers. Gain some insight on how to ride this multi-screen wave of the future.

See you in Denver, don’t forget to Register!

If you’re not impressed by this line up… well I don’t know what would impress you :)

This is a truly bad ass line up! It’s hard to not get excited when I see the names and details for this line up! There’s a lot of conferences out there, A LOT! But I think you’ll agree this is a pretty diverse line up, not just “the regular folks who present every time” which is really part of what (I think) makes 360|Flex so great! Who wants to see the same people every time giving the next version of the talk they gave last time, etc. BORING!

Remember also! Pre-Conference training, is FREE! Included in the price of your ticket! We’ve been doing it for years, and it’s still pretty much un heard of! Why pay extra? Check out the Sunday options!

Check out the details, check out the schedule then go get your ticket!
