FotB’09 Brighton is just around the corner and it’ll be my first time attending said conference/boozer. I was set to go last year but unfortunately got stuck at work with a launch of a large project coinciding. Then I had already bought the tickets to FotB’09 Miami when it sadly got canceled due to the economic state of the world. Well, not this time. There will be others from AKQA there as well, notably Aaron and Paddy, who’ll both be the whole duration of the conference.
Currently this is my most likely schedule for the event:
Monday
- 09.00 – Keynote
- 10.15 – Mike Chambers – Advanced desktop development with Adobe AIR
- 11.30 – Chuck Freedman – Visualizing Voice: Using the Flash microphone for advanced interaction
- 13:30 – Mike Jones – Who’s a bright Spark then?
- 14:45 – TBC
- 16:00 – Hillman Curtis – Telling Stories
- 20:00 – Joel Gethin Lewin – Epiphany
- 21:00 – Party
Tuesday

- 10:15 – TBC

- 13:30 – Richard Lord – Application Frameworks: The good, the bad, and the ugly
- 14:45 – Paul Burnett – More than bending pixels

Wednesday
- 09:00 – TBC

Like I said, these are the ones I’ll try to get to see. There might be issues with availability of space etc, but I’ll try.
I’ll be looking forward to seeing everyone who’s coming down there! Don’t be a stranger, say hello!
