If you’ve got some free time this coming Saturday afternoon head on down to Brussels for another Adobe usergroup event with our user group regular Mike Chambers, Senior Product Manager for Developer relations, and first-but-hopefully-not-last-timer Mike Downey, Senior Product Manager for Flash.

You’ll hear all about Adobe’s infamous Apollo project and a state of the union for Flash with some possible sneak peeks at what is to come in the not too distant future.

The meeting is free of charge as always but places are limited (not very many seats left) and you are required to register! For more information or reserving your seat visit our user group website.

With Flash on the Beach just a few weeks away, decided to take a look at the schedule and see what sessions I definitely don’t want to miss

Day 1 - December 4th
