The early bird pricing for Flash Camp Atlanta ends in less than 24 hours!  Tickets are on pace to sell out soon, so if you don't want to pay more later, go sign up now.  The early bird pricing is dirt cheap, only $40 for the main session and $15 for the introductory session ( an intro to Flash, Flex, and AIR ). 

A few days ago, we were having some internal discussions about Flash Camp Atlanta.  We had gotten a couple of topics in, and oddly enough, they all had a common theme.  So, through part of our discussions, we decided that we were going to have a theme for Flash Camp Atlanta.  The first theme we came up with, "80's day", had been done before and was a bit tired.  The second idea we had was much better:  "Enabling The Convergence of Art & Design With The Flash Platform".  

A couple of things inspired this theme.  Firstly, this document, by Christian Saylor, has been a huge inspiration in everything we do at Universal Mind.  Go ahead, take a minute or two and read it;  this post will still be here for you to read.  Second, Ben Stucki submitted a topic along these same lines (session descriptions are coming soon).  So what does this mean?  It means that we are going to strive to have all of our topics tie into this common thread through the day.  We've got a great littany of speakers lined up and it's an event that you won't want to miss.

I'm also working on lining up a great venue (not Stats, it's been played out) for the community get together the night before.  Also, Delta Airlines announced a slew of cheap fares (as low as $80 roundtrip from Charlotte, NC) today that are valid for the dates of Flash Camp Atlanta.

Flash Camp is coming to the ATL! 

Flash Camp Atlanta is a full-day event featuring some top industry experts on the Adobe Flash Platform from both inside and outside Adobe. Come advance your Flex and Flash skills, meet members of the Adobe team and network with local companies and fellow developers. Sessions will be geared towards developers and designers with little to advanced level of experience with Flex and/or ActionScript. There will be plenty of giveaways, raffles and swag (and lunch).

In addition to a great Main Session (9am-5pm) there will also be a special Introductory Session (8-9am) for developers who are new to the Adobe Flash Platform.  This special session only costs an additional $15 (until July 30th and $25 thereafter).  This session will get these developers up to speed aspects of the Flash Platform like Adobe Flex, AIR, and Flash Builder.
