MAX Bangalore
Normally I would follow up right after a conference with my impressions but over the past two weeks I've found myself working on some really cool internal projects that have taken up almost all of my time. Now that I have some free time I thought it would be good to recap my trip to Bangalore.

First off, the people in Bangalore are incredibly helpful and very polite. Everywhere I went people were smiling and offering to help me. The weather was more comfortable than Delhi however the traffic seemed more hectic.

There were around 320 attendees during the two days, more than attended the same conference last year which shows there's a growing interest from designers and developers in Macromedia products and technologies.

My two sessions went very well and I decided to try a few new things which seemed to work very well - I'll be trying these when I speak at FITC on April 9th. Overall everyone seemed to comprehend the value of using Flash to not only create mobile content but to create a much more compelling user experience. A good indicator for me as to whether I was able to get my messages across was the enthusiasm of the attendees afterwards about getting involved with creating Flash Lite content. A majority of people said they would start creating some content and I'm looking forward to them submitting their work to the Macromedia Flash Lite Exchange.

Again, thanks to everyone who attended and making my time there enjoyable. I hope to be back next year if not sooner.
