The Flashforward Conference will be held August 20 - 22 in San Francisco, CA. The Flashforward Conference was the first event in the world focused on Macromedia, now Adobe, Flash. The Film Festival showcases talent and presents awards to those leading in innovation and design.

The other interesting development in this press release is that FlashForward has been acquired from From Lynda.com by Metallic.

“The Flashforward Conference and Film Festival is a historic event as the longest-running and largest gathering of Flash designers and developers in the world,” said Lynda Weinman, Co-Founder of Flashforward and lynda.com. “As the co-founder, it's extremely important to me that the torch carry forward to a respected industry insider who will run the conference for the benefit of this talented and diverse audience. Beau Ambur is among an elite group of the most forward-thinking Flash developers, who understands community and how important this event is to this industry. It's an honor to pass the conference on to someone who is uniquely qualified to bring new ideas and vitality to an event that is near and dear to so many hearts.”
