360|Flex Atlanta is almost upon us. This will be the third installment of our little conference. John and I have been crazy busy, working to get things done. John has actually been carrying my slack this time around! (Thanks, partner, I owe you!)
One of the things that’s very exciting to us though is that we have an API Contest this time. eBay, Ribbit and Degrafa have all joined our API contest. Make a widget and win yourself a Wii, PlayStation 3 or XBox 360. This is in addition to the wonderful prizes that they will also be giving away in their own contests! Make 1 Flex app and win 2 possible prizes. If I wasn’t running the show, I’d be making an entry for all 3! 🙂
Sunday, February 24th, will see the kickoff of the conference. We will have an all day Flex 101 session to get new comers up to speed on Flex before the show begins. The guys from Digital Primates are teaching the class AND buying you lunch. If you do go, be sure to offer them a huge thank you for their generosity.
Monday, February 25th, will be the kickoff of the Conference. Matt Chotin will be delivering our keynote, talking about the soap opera, err, I mean development of Flex 3. 🙂 I’m looking forward to this, though I will likely miss it as I’ll still be welcoming attendees. Sorry, Matt, customers first!
I’d go over every session of the show, but it’s easier if you just check it out for yourself.
In case you’re wondering what’s in store for the conference, let me give you a quick rundown:
Hundreds of attendees
30+ Sessions/Speakers
4 Days of conference
3 Contest prizes to win
3 Parties
2 Keynotes
2 Caring hosts
1-gig Thumb drive
1 Free Hands-on Preconfernce Training
1 kickin’ conference
Plus, you’ll get some conference goodies, grub, drinks and even a few articles of clothing.
And you get all that for a mere $480. If you’re serious about Flex, then you need to come. See you there!
