FOTB 2008 Conference reports

It's that time again for the community to gather in Brighton. For three full days, 1050 attendees will enjoy inspiring sessions, networking and countless conversations over british beer. Many had arrived 2-3 days early, just to make sure they had time to party and catch up with friends before the conference kicked off. This just doesn't happen on other conferences and the community feel at FOTB is just amazing!

The program is packed and with only one sad exception due to US border regulations ruining the trip for Nando Costa, all sessions looks to go as planned. If you're at FOTB or just want to have a peek at what's going on, check out the conference guide at http://www.fotb08.mobi

Day 1 coverage

This years FOTB conference kicked off with a neat intro animation and a surprise from conference host John Davey - in April 2009, Flash On The Beach will go to Miami! The keynote by Richard Galvan was the first session of the event and the first time the final build of Flash CS4 was shown at a conference.

Day 2 coverage

The crowd was up early, despite the party ending at about 3 in the morning at The Old Ship. Aral kicked it off in the the Dome and as always, the program is packed and it's hard to pick what sessions to go to.

Day 3 coverage

How do you empty 2 bars in a night? Put on a Flash conference in a beautiful location, give attendees inspiring sessions and then throw a party where they can network until early morning. Up until now, FOTB08 has been a blast and day 3 was no exception. It also featured the most discussed session in the entire conference.

Special thanks to Marc Thiele for pictures and good times! Special non-thanks to Sterling Airlines that made the trip home terrible...
