Wow. Flash on the Beach Miami


I just got a newsletter with a shocking tidbit. Flash on the Beach is offering an amazing 48-hour recession-beater discount as a thank you to the Flash community. Until midnight on January 14th, you can get a full three-day pass to the Miami conference for only $99! Check the other conferences out there. That is a GREAT deal, and this is one of the best shows around. Peruse the following for more information:

To get this deal, go to this page and use the code “RSKNUTS1″ at checkout.

UPDATE: The recession has hit everyone very hard and Flash on the Beach Miami is no exception. With everyone either forgoing travel and events, or waiting until the last minute to see how things play out, pre-registration was too low to proceed with the conference. John Davey, the event founder and organizer, felt that it was too risky to allow registrants to book possibly non-refundable flights, or to allow sponsors to commit funding, for fear of a possible later cancellation and the effect that would have on early adopters. As a gesture far too rare these days, he has given all early registrants not only a full refund, but a free pass to Flash on the Beach Brighton. Now that's class. We're sorry to see the event cancelled for 2009, but we sure are impressed at the way it was handled. Our sympathies to John for the iscal impact this decision probably had--another scar from financial world gone mad.
