Macromedia MAX (and why I’m not going)

Today is your last chance to get tickets for Macromedia MAX at a discounted price. So, if you were planning to attend bu haven’t got your tickets yet, think quick. Tomorrow those same tickets will be $200 more. Sessions look very promising, and you will find some well-known names among the presenters. Topics cover everything you need to start taking advantage of the new MX 2004 line-up, and more. So, why I’m not going?

Well, I’ve been making some numbers, and right now it was between the conference and my update to DevNet Pro (I use Studio MX at work, but personally I only own Flash MX). It was kind of a tough decision. In fact that’s the reason I’ve been waiting until the last minute on this matter, but yesterday I paid for my subscription. So, no MAX for me this year.

I was actually asking around if there was a way into MAX (for free), other than winning an award, since there’s not enough time for that either. It turns out that the only other chance would be speaking at the conference. I thought about it for a minute. I even went to see the sessions listing again… and the only subject that I thought that would fit into the current … was “what’s in Flash MX 2004 for designers”, everything else is already covered. Well, I thought about it for another minute, but I figured it is already too late for a proposal. I just hope nobody else does it, because the only honorable thing to do would be killing myself
