With only four days to go for the Early Bird pricing and the workshops sold out, it looks like Flash On The Beach (FOTB) may sell out once again. If you want to attend the best Flash conference there is, make sure you talk to your boss now to get tickets before it's too late!
UPDATE: As predicted - FOTB is now sold out!
There's many conferences, but none are alike Flash On The Beach. We wouldn't miss it for the world. It's the unique mix of the speakers, the location, the people, the city of Brighton, the organizer and last (but not the least) the parties. If you need any reasons to go to Brighton this September (20-23rd) check out this article from last year, listing out top 5 reasons to attend.
The event has sold out before and it looks like it could do so this year as well. In Dan Thomas recent interview with event organizer John Davey on InsideRIA, John tells how quickly the first tickets to FOTB09 went: "... within 9 minutes the first priceband had sold out, within 2 hours the next priceband sold out, so we were into the third priceband within two hours! It would normally take six weeks or more to get to that stage!". The economy has certainly changed and Flash developers has been in high demand throughout the economic downturn this year. This makes more companies send their employees to events and the recent FlashForum conference in Cologne sold out just weeks before the event.
Now is the last chance to not pay the full price for FOTB, so if you're going to Brighton, don't take any chances and buy your tickets now... At the moment there's also a few spots available for the extra Papervision workshop that was set up due to the massive demand. To read more about the former events, check out our extensive reports from FOTB08, FOTB07 and FOTB06.
Flashmagazine will of course cover the event this year as well, so look for John, David or Jens (wearing red Flashmagazine t-shirts) and say hi!
