All eyes on Stechelberg: from January 26th through 28th, 2012 (Thursday – Saturday) we want to recommend you the most adventurous Flash/Flex/Mobile conference. GotoAndSki(); is an event in the Swiss Alps hosted by Fernando Colaço and David Almeida. This unique combination of boarding/skiing/sledding and conference sessions guarantees the maximum fun in the dull month of January. You will be having fun in the snow during the day and learn in sessions after the slopes are closed. Speakers include Mihai Corlan, Hugo Fernandes, Eugene Zatepyakin, Mario Klingemann, Tom Krcha, Steven Peeters, Peter Elst, and Dominic Graefen. Michael Plank will be speaking as well, so you won’t need to cut back on chatting about FDT 🙂 .

Still not convinced? Have a look at the photographs from last year.
Tickets are still available.

Attending the FITC festival in San Francisco, the Powerflasher team was interviewed by Adobe and featured in their EDGE website newsletter:

Bruno Fonzi: The impressive new thing is just seeing devices, having Flash working on devices.

Martin Libich:  Well, I think in the Flash world, in general, what we are seeing and this is crucial for what we do, is the possibility of taking Flash out of the browser. Using the flexibility of Flash to do what has been done on the web anywhere you want, in the store front, at the counter when you are ordering your latte.

The Conference

In this article, HTLM5 vs. Flash at a Flash Conference, Yosun Chang captured the openness and true interest in digital art design and technology that explores and goes beyond Flash. This is valid for FITC, FlashOnTheBeach (FOTB), FlashAndTheCity (FATC), FlashBelt and many other Community driven conferences around the world! So many hard to mention all, sorry !

Yosun has even missed however the presentation about haxe.org another alternative language to ActionScript or Flex ”Everything you wanted to know about haXe, but were afraid to ask”  with Nicolas Cannasse presented at the super cool Influxis Voodoo Lounge
We have also done some interviewed ourselves to some of the haXe fans attending FITC, including the number one fan Nicolas Cannasse 😉

 

 

 

We also had a blast on the rooftop CODAME event, it could not have better a place for Powerflasher to celebrate our first year in USA as a Digital Interactive Development company. Looking forward to new upcoming exciting projects !

A special thanks to our supporters, Gaia Online, Organic, Mypressi and Influxis for the drinks!

I would like to thank @Starpause for helping us to organize the art tech side of the event with the help of @keisukes @andremichelle @radley @calebhaye @jamiew @EvanMorris transmote.com for making CODAME an awesome multimedia experience ! Buck & Sumit as great hosts of the now legendary San Francisco rooftop residence!

And big thanks to the fog for passing by and make the CODAME event a full San Francisco experience!

Yesterday’s Flash Camp in Manchester was a big success! A huge number of attendees, 7 great sessions and very nice prices to win, including 2 tickets to Flash on the Beach 2010.

In my session I demonstrated all the great new features of FDT 4 as well as the alpha version of our upcoming FDT haXe plugin. View and fee free to download the slides of my PDFBook presentation here.

The venue was awesome and supported the professional conference atmosphere.

After my talk, a lot of people have been excited about the topics I presented. They also wanted to get there hands on FDT to give the pure coding comfort a try.

The last conference trip started in Sydney  Australia with the WebDU conference.
From Sydney straight to the Flash On Tap conference in Boston. A really big hop causing a really bad jetlag 🙁
There was only one week between Flash On Tap and Flashbelt so I decided to stay in the US and spend the week in wonderful LA. Next stop was Flashbelt in Minneapolis. From east to west coast to somewhere in the middle. Nice!
The last conference before the summer break was the Flash at the Lake conference in Zurich – Switzerland.

Great events, great people, great everything 🙂 Love it!
