This conference really reminded me of DefCon.

Reason being is that once noon rolled around, the twitters flying around were all about which parties to hit in what order that night. All the networking and all the real talk happened after the actual event, at the parties.

For example, Pete Casmore of mashable.com hired me to be his ‘personal’ photographer during the entire event. Nice little bonus: being able to add mashable.com to the Aten Syndicate list of clients!

The event overall was very enjoyable, except for the coming-home-with-the-plague part.

There was a very large Adobe/Flex presence, and most of the talks that I went to were almost flat out developer related. There were a few that I missed because too much awesome stuff was going on, but overall it was awesome. Here are some highlights!
