360|Flex Conferences

360Flex – No west coast show, but how about a cruise?

RIA_ad

Tom and I have partnered with Josh Cyr (organizer of the last RIAdventure cruise) to bring RIAdventure360!

We’re going to be spending 7 days in early December cruising around the Western Caribbean talking about RIAs and the future of the internet.

We’re getting a few speakers together to sort of help guide discussions. Since this is a cruise and all that, we don’t want it to be all structured and formal like a conference. What we’re going for is a more barcamp style event. The plan is we’ll get together during the 2 ‘at sea’ days, we’ve got a room with A/V and all that, there’ll be grub too of course and we’ll pick some topics and talk.

Our hope is the discussion ranges from the future of RIAs, mobile, server side technologies, whether Flash will ever be on the iPhone, etc :D

Stay tuned for more, but we’re locking some awesome folks down as our “speakers”

It’s a pretty sweet deal too, I might add, the price roughly works out to what you’d spend to attend most other conferences, and this is a cruise! Check out the ship and the cruise plan, then Register!

360Flex – Chad Udell’s Slide featured on Slideshare

picture-2 So this is pretty cool!

This morning, we got an email from Slideshare letting us know that Speaker Chadd Udell’s slide deck “Developers are from Mars, Designers are from Venus” was being features in the design section of Slideshare.

We just wanted to share this with everyone, since we think it’s kinda cool, and extend a congratulations to Chad. It’s supposed to be in the spotlight for “the next 16-20 hours” Check it out!

360Flex Slide Decks on Slideshare

I’ve uploaded all the presentations we collected from speakers, you’ll see it’s not all of them, bad speakers! :)

If there’s one you want and it’s not there, pester the speaker publicly, that usually helps :D If they pass it on, we’ll add it to the slideshare.

They’re all tagged ‘360flexindy’ for easy searching, here’s the Link to that Tag.

360Flex Raffle winners – Session Surveys

Wanted to put a post out so that everyone knows who won our session survey raffles. The Raffles are really important, not just to Tom and I, but (way more so) to our speakers. We pass on survey feedback (anon of course) so that the speakers can learn and make changes to their topics, get better, etc.

We didn’t do a super great job making sure everyone knew that the survey tool , which is our bad for sure, we’ll do better about that, sorry.

For those who did take the time to fill out surveys, we appreciate it, the speakers appreciate it, and we’re glad to be able to try to make it worth your while.

During lunch on Tuesday and Wednesday we did a raffle of survey results submitted so far. Their were 10 copies of Flex Builder which went to;

Dave Matchack, Mark Doberenz, Bryce Barrand, Sam Singer, Sherry Parisi, Joel Spriggs, Jay Hagenow, Arnold K. Young, Kris Arnold, and JD Schrock

Congrats to you guys, you should be hearing from Adobe very soon. The awesome gal that handles this was putting on FlashCamp last week, so it’ll probably be this week.

We also announced that one lucky attendee would win a copy of Adobe Creative Suite 4 Master Collection. The lucky winner of that bad boy of software was David Ortinau. Congrats David! We’re getting the media and figuring out how to deliver it (it’s not a small download!)

We also had a copy of Fusion Reactor to give away and that went to Thomas Wilson

We also had a license of Flextras to give out, and two copies of Snagit and Camtasia.
