360Flex next stop....

We're heading back to where it all started...

Koi ponds, BBQ (dogs and burgers, not pulled pork), sunny days, Sim with his own stein, plain white signage, and everything else that "started it all".

SAN JOSE CA!!!
That's right, boys and girls. We're heading back to beautiful San Jose and the eBay Town Hall. Ebay is graciously hosting us again at their kick ass town hall facility right in the heart of Silicon Valley!

When? August 17-20, 2008!

Four days? That's right, we're going to repeat the crazy successful FREE pre-conference training on Sunday. Get brushed up on you. (oops, we've been in Europe too long aleady!)

Cost? Same as Atlanta! $480.00 (Though if you thought Atlanta was great, just wait!!!)

What's in store? Who can say? Tom and I usually don't decide what we're doing until right before the conference. The ClueTrain Manifesto, we bought those right before we left for Atlanta. We're like that :) You can be assured though, that we'll continue our tradition of being the best Flex/AIR conference in the world. (Hey, we just did Europe, so yes it is the world!) You'll get the best speakers in the industry, with the best session topics, the best food ;), the most community involvement, and most importantly the least 'lost in an ocean of people' feeling, that is common at larger events.

Tom is looking forward to the BBQ again. (Thanks for that picture Ed!) It's hard to believe that 360|Flex occurred 4 times in little over a year (Mar 07 - San Jose, Aug 07 - Seattle, Feb 08 - Atlanta, Apr 08 - Milan). The community has grown so much in size and in technical knowledge. We can't wait to see what new knowledge the San Jose event will bring.

The last San Jose event sold out in record time due to the 400 ticket max limit. If you're gonna want to come, you better sign up quick. No emailing us "Come on, how about 1 more ticket?" Our hands will be tied and we'll say, "You were warned when we announced it." See you at San Jose!

Woah.... August 2008? That's not even 6 months since Atlanta. And only 3 months before MAX.

I don't think I'm going to be able to convince my work to go for that... :(

Nor do I have the vacation time or money to go on my own. Bummer...sounds really cool!

Feb to Aug is 6 months. That's sorta our tradition.

Yes, it is 3 months before MAX, but we cater to the hardcore Flexers while MAX caters to the Adobe generalists.

Sorry you can't make it. A show without The Saj is gonna be tough. :(

Woo hoo. I never got to go the first 360Flex at eBay (just read everyone's tweeters how cool it was). I'll definitely be there this time around!

Well, I'll try to see what I can do...

We shall see...maybe if I paid for my own ticket/flight, they might let me go.

Money....it's just always in the way. We should get rid of it. Then I can just pay American Airlines with corn from Amishville.

@Saj Are we talking white corn or yellow? :) Definitely, research it. We'd love to see the family again.

I was always rather partial to blue corn...

:-)

Though the red corn is pretty nice too. Though more often than not I tend to just dish out some really bad corny puns.
