</div>
<p>I spoke at the last <a title="I also spoke at 360 Flex San Jose" href="http://www.360flex.com/san-jose-2010/" target="_blank">360|Flex in San Jose</a>, but I&#8217;m already more excited for the DC conference, and here&#8217;s why.</p>
<ol>
<li>I&#8217;m speaking about the most exciting part of the Flash Platform, <a title="Adobe AIR2 release notes for developers" href="http://www.adobe.com/support/documentation/en/air/2/releasenotes_developers.html" target="_blank">AIR2</a></li>
<li><a title="Jesse Warden vs Jesse Freeman at 360 Flex DC - BE THERE!!!" href="http://www.360flex.com/blog/2010/07/360flex-jesse-vs-jesse/" target="_blank">Jesse vs. Jesse ( Flash vs Flex throwdown )</a></li>
<li>It&#8217;s in Washington DC</li>
<li>My band <a title="The Compilers World" href="http://compilersworld.com/" target="_blank">The Compilers</a> will be giving a lunch talk, as well as playing live at one of the parties</li>
<li>There is talk of <a title="Duane 'chaos' Nickull's band 22nd Century. Duane is a fellow bassist!" href="http://22ndcenturyofficial.com/" target="_blank">Duanne Nickull&#8217;s band 22nd Century</a> playing ( hopefully <a title="Sean the flex guy is my personal online DJ" href="http://twitter.com/seantheflexguy" target="_blank">Sean &#8216;the flex guy&#8217;</a> too )</li>
<li>Doug McCune is giving the opening Keynote speech on Monday</li>
<li>I get to hang out with the Flex community</li>
</ol>
<p>If you haven&#8217;t been to a 360 Flex conference yet I highly recommend it.  If you still need help deciding, here are a few conference questions for you.</p>
<ol>
<li>Do you currently work with or have any interest in <a title="Adobe Flex" href="http://www.adobe.com/products/flex/" target="_blank">Adobe Flex</a>?</li>
<li>Have you attended a 360 Flex conference yet?</li>
<li>Do you want to meet the community loudmouths you&#8217;re already following on Twitter?</li>
<li>Have you seen who is <a title="Speakers at 360|Flex DC 2010" href="http://www.360flex.com/speakers/" target="_blank">speaking at 360 Flex DC</a>?</li>
<li>Have you ever heard <a title="The Compilers world!" href="http://compilersworld.com/" target="_blank">The Compilers</a> play live?</li>
<li>Are you still reading this blog post?</li>
</ol>
<p>The last 360 Flex I spoke at was in San Jose and it rocked.  The city of San Jose bored me to tears, but I felt like I was living inside my twitter feed for three days.  My presentation was on the final day of 360 Flex, so I spent most of the conference preparing, and sitting in a few sessions here and there.  I spent almost half of my time in San Jose working and still met 10-15 of my twitter buddies, not to mention all the new contacts I met.  In a nutshell, if you attend a 360 Flex conference, you will meet the community.  In fact, you&#8217;d have to try pretty hard to not meet the Flex community.</p>
<p>If this sounds up your alley, go ahead and register to take advantage of the early adopter ticket price of $450.  I&#8217;m not sure when the ticket price will go up to $599, but I know it will so act fast.  If you make it to DC, be sure to find me and introduce yourself.  I promise it will be a good time.</p>
