I promise to post a recap of all of day one's (Monday's) sessions tomorrow, but I believe this warrants its own quick post:

It was announced today that Flash on the Beach will hold a conference in Miami, Florida on April 5-8 2009! Ticket sales will start in November. There has already been a lot of buzz around the announcement since this morning, so it looks like things are off to a good start.

I, for one, will welcome Flash on the Beach coming state-side if nothing else for the better exchange rates. It was announced today that out of the 1050 attendees, only 12 were from the states. Don't think anyone is wondering why! But really, this is a very exciting announcement - and everyone back in the states should be excited that there is another awesome conference option coming soon.
