FITC Amsterdam 2008

FITC Amsterdam

Just finished booking my flights and hotel for Flash in the can Amsterdam. I’ve become a bit of a conference junkie lately with Max in Barcelona then Flash on the beach and now FITC. I am a bit miffed that some of the speakers, who i’m sure get paid quite a bit for their attendance, are giving the same sessions as Flash on the Beach. Oh well I will just attend some of the different or new sessions.

Unfortunately i’m not going to be attending the now sold out Papervision 3d workshop on the Sunday but I’m determined to go to the many PV3d sessions during the event. So my provisional session schedule looks like this:

Monday Feb 25th

09:00 – 10:00 Adobe Keynote – Mike Downey
10:15 – 11:15 RIA meets desktop – Peter Elst
11:30 – 12:30 Data Visualization with Flex and AIR – Nicolas Lierman
13:30 – 14:30 From Screen to Space: Designing Large-Scale Interactive Experiences – Nikolai Cornell
14:45 – 15:45 Kaboom!!! Flash Pyrotechnics – Seb Lee-Delisle
16:00 – 17:00 North Kingdom – An Inside View – Andreas Pihlström
17:15 – 18:15 Reducing Complexity: An Intimate Look at Saffron – Samuel Agesilas

Tuesday Feb 26th

09:00 – 10:00 Play with Pixels, Bitmap Manipulation with Flash! – Koen De Weggheleire
10:15 – 11:15 AIR Conditioning – Lee Brimlow
11:30 – 12:30 Do The Right Thing. Do The Thing Right – Robert L. Peters
13:30 – 14:30 Big Spaceship – Joshua Hirsch
14:45 – 15:45 Flash 2D & 3D Effects – Ralph Hauwert
16:00 – 17:00 The Rest of the Iceberg – Hoss Gifford
17:15 – 18:15 Flex development for your daily development – Marco Casario

I think there is a good mixture there, although I hope that Hoss shows some different stuff to Flash on the beach should still be good.

So if you are heading to FITC please come and say hi and grab one of my fabulous Moo.com cards.
