Coming To China: Adobe Flash Platform Summit

  I visited China several times last year, and am planning multiple trips this year, too. China is home to the second largest population of Flash and Flex developers, and it's high time those developers had the opportunity to take part in a full-blown Flash Platform conference of their own. So I am excited that we're hosting a 2-day Adobe Flash Platform Summit, a mini-MAX of sorts, in Beijing on April 21st - 22nd, 2010. The exact agenda and speaker list is still being worked out, but I do plan on attending, and am really looking forward to the event!

Presenting At Events in London, Paris, Cologne, Liege, And Amsterdam

  I'm spending a lot of time in Europe right now. I was in London a week ago, am heading back there this week, and will be back in the area in March to discuss Flash Builder 4, ColdFusion 9, and ColdFusion Builder with customers, partners, and at the following public events: Registration for these events is now open. (And it appears as though London sold out completely, within 20 minutes of registration opening)!
