Flashforward2007 San Francisco Testimonials

"The conference provided a much-needed forum for a group that is on the verge of explosion. The world has not seen a real art movement in the last 20 years, but is about to witness the first digital one. The sharing of ideas, networking and solution-swapping added the fuel to let everyone know that we will continue to blaze trails as individuals and a collective."
Daryl McCuiston, Cisco Systems

"Flashforward is absolutely THE best opportunity to see the latest work being done in Flash, and the people doing it, live and up close.

Charles Balazs, Asherah Integrated Design

Being surrounded by like-minded programmers and designers is a wonderful feeling and I feel lucky to have been a part. And the fact that we were also learning the entire time makes a conference like Flashforward priceless. I'll recommend it to everyone."

"I liked the wide variety of styles, techniques and applications that were showcased. It was helpful and inspiring to see examples of what Flash is capable of. I also liked the pre-conference workshops. I am just beginning to use Flash, and the Fundamentals workshop was very beneficial. Just what I was looking for. We made good use of the networking rooms and the Internet room. Great added value." .
Donna Spray, Project Manager/Instructional Designer, NCR

"I was inspired. I work for a bank so it's easy to go with the flow and not push the boundaries of graphic design. The conference helped remind me that I can and need to do that."

"The gathering of fellow Flashers that share the same passion that I do for learning, creating and pushing the boundaries of what we know was very exciting and inspiring."

"As an Oracle Database Administrator who is feverishly learning Flash to implement some new software product prototypes for my own company, Flashforward2007 was EXACTLY what I needed!!! Congratulations!!! I have been typing my notes, reviewing the URLs recommended by presenters and attendees, reviewing the lynda.com Advanced Flash 5 CD I purchased at the conference, getting started with Amorphium Pro that I also purchased at Flashforward, and digesting/synthesizing all the great ideas I got at the conference. I was more inspired on every level by Flashforward2007 than I was by Oracle OpenWorld 2007 (and OpenWorld inspired me)."
