So let’s say you had this great idea for a conference. Oh, I don’t know, top-tier training from some of the best in the industry on some of the coolest Web technologies out there. Yeah, I know, not very feasible, but bear with me. So you’ve got this great event with great speakers and radically nice facilities but something is missing… Wait, I’ve got it. Attendees! Sure, you could put up a website to tell them about the event, but how would they tell you they want to come? We’ve really racked our brains on this one and after serious consideration (and a serious amount of badgering from everyone from Adobe to the White House) we have decided to boldly go where every conference has gone before and open registration!
Yes, it’s true a stunning 11 days before the event we have relented to pressure are will allow people to attend the event we’ve all been working so hard on. Our crack Web team will get a big flashy Register NOW link or button or Web thingy up on the site but I wanted to start spreading the word as soon as possible. So go register. Now. What are you waiting for?

We are officially two weeks from the start of BFusion and BFlex and we still don’t have registration open! Can you believe it? No, neither can I and it’s driving me batty! Now that we’ve got the necessary approvals from the university we are almost there. Good people (Thanks, Joe!) have been working hard but I can’t ask them to spend their weekend on it. Now that I’m back from Adobe MAX (great conference, but terrible timing) I’m going to see if I can bring it to the finish line. We still have to test the payment piece on Monday. If we don’t have it by EOB Monday we’ll bail out and go for something like EventBrite, even if it costs us twice as much to use. I really do apologize for the delay, confusion and frustration it has caused everyone.
The full schedules and their times (subject to change) have been posted on both the BFusion and BFlex pages. By the end of weekend, perhaps even by the time you read this, we’ll have the full detailed session descriptions posted as well. I encourage you to shop early because you’ll need to indicate the sessions you plan to attend when you register. We do this so we can figure out which sessions will go in what size room and how many assistants are needed for each. We won’t keep people from changing on the fly, but please choose wisely early for minimum disturbance of the Force. (Sorry, it’s late and I’ve got Star Wars on my mind after MAX. Luke Skywalker/Mark Hamill was there.)
Two schedule items to make you aware of:
- Make plans to come in time for BNight, a laptop configuration session and party at the swanky digs of local tech start up Sprout Box. It’s Friday evening (10/23) from 7:00-10:00pm
- We have tentative plans for a few Birds of a Feather sessions at local bars Saturday evening at 9:00pm. Possible topics are: Flash Platform, Developer/Designer workflow, Flex 4 and Data Visualization (with infrared imaging files example), and iPhone (mobile) Development. If you’d like to lead a BOF, just let us know.
Spread the word about BFusion/BFlex! Even though you can’t register as of this writing, there will be plenty of seats available once we do open registration. I can’t promise the same thing about the hotels though. If you are coming in from out of town, I suggest you secure one of the rooms we have set aside before they are all gone. In order to help spread the word we have created badges and banners for you to show that you are attending BFusion/BFlex 2009.
One final note: If you are looking to room share, car pool or just complain about how long it’s taken to get registration up (I may join in on that thread) please use our forum.
BFusion and BFlex are open for business!

After a tremendous amount of work by our wonderful event staff, generosity and enthusiasm of the community and support from our sponsors, we are ready to get things rolling with BFusion and BFlex!
We just can’t hold back any longer. Even as we work to get the final event details on the website people are sneaking in and registering. We don’t want anyone left out. So check out the great training and speakers we have for you, register and be sure to tell your friends.
