I’m very happy to announce that I will be traveling to Brazil next month to do a user group tour! Brazil is one of the places that I have always wanted to visit and I’m excited that I’ll be able to come down and meet some of the great developers there. I’ll be doing four user group events and also a handful of customer visits but I will have some time to explore and check out the sights. The presentations will cover the entire Flash Platform including ColdFusion and I will try to make it as entertaining as I can. |
One of the main reasons that I’ve wanted to go to Brazil is because of my love for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and MMA, which is known as Vale Tudo in Brazil. I trained for a couple of years at a couple of different Gracie schools (Ralph and Charles) here in California and some of my favorite MMA fighters are from Brazil. Currently they are Demian Maia, Minotauro Nogueira, and Wanderlei Silva. Maybe if I have time in Rio I can go over to Brazilian Top Team and have Nogueira slap an anaconda choke on me 
.
Currently the dates for the user groups are as follows:
- Salvador Aug 16
- Brasília Aug 18 (morning)
- Rio de Janeiro Aug 18 (night)
- São Paulo Aug 20
I will post more details once I get them. During my trip I will be giving away some software and may even setup a dead drop competition. I need to be careful though so I don’t end up on the next season of Locked Up Abroad.

Lol awesome timing! I think I’ll be in Sao Paulo at that date visiting family. Let me know if you need someone to tour you around the city. I’m a fan of the Jiu-Jitsu but just to watch at vale tudo fights, I still prefer Krav-Maga over it.
Hey Lee! Since you’re going to Brazil, why don’t you travel down south a little more and come here to Argentina?
Not only have I been waiting to enjoy your talks and learn from you… I also been wanting to play a dead drop for quite some time!
That’s really cool Lee.
Please post the venues for each city, so I can schedule one of them. Looking forward to more events like these ones.
Kindly regards,
Andre Villela
That’s really cool. I certainly won’t miss that! What do I have to do?
Doing a dead drop there?
Dead drop? Good luck with that, i guess whatever you’ll be hiding here will be found within 5 minutes – without you giving any hints
j/k See you in SP!
i think being mugged up is more likely to happen than being locked up
especially in rio and são paulo, one wrong corner and your screwed..
I agree with Pablo, you should come to Argentina!
Good luck in Brazil and have fun!
Ridiculous, when you say “I need to be careful though so I don’t end up on the next season of Locked Up Abroad.”
Man we are not terrorists. Come on, more respect with Brazil Nation.
Mr Lee, I’m a AUG (RIA-BA – http://bit.ly/ria-ba) Manager and I’m very happy to know your presence here in Brazil (Salvador/BA) Aug, 16th.
Thanks Adobe! Thank you!
Oh come on Lee, now that I arrived in NY just to be able to see you some day, you’re going to the place I come from? Not fair!
(Just kidding. Have a nice tour!)
Dead drop in Sao Paulo would be awesome, and also very hard hehe.
Or maybe a drowning after the presentation, that would also be cool.
Looking forward to hear from you in Sao Paulo.
Welcome to Brazil!
Good news… I’m live in BrasÃlia and will be a pleasure to give you a tour around if you want. Anyway, let us know more about your arive.
See ya
Sounds amazing! Your appearances will be public or closed to user group members? Thank you!
Wow, that’s great! Maybe Adobe could include one more date in Porto Alegre. But, anyway, I’ll check my dates to go to São Paulo! See ya
Great honor for us, Master
Not only do you neglect to mention the Brazilian women, you actually hope on getting slapped with some guy’s anaconda. Very telling Mr. Brimelow.
Wow! Nice!
I’ll be there!
See you soon!
@Matheus I have total respect for Brazil as I mentioned in my post. Locked Up Abroad is about people getting arrested in foreign countries while doing something illegal. It was just a joke
.
Hello Lee!
Flashers from the capital BrasÃlia are looking for more information about your trip! Please spread the news as soon as u can!
Im sure u r really welcome here!
Cya
Lee,
Demian Maia is the man. I had a chance to attend a 2 day seminar with him near Toronto in March. He’s a great teacher and showed off a ton of cool techniques. If you ever get the chance I highly recommend attending one of his sessions.
Hi Lee!! Welcome to Brazil!!
Adobe could include Belo Horizonte too!
So Brazil it´s fantastic country, with beautiful places! and good people !!so have fun in our country
About Locked Up Abroad it´s a distorted view of reality!!
tks for visit!!
Hi Lee!
Welcome to Salvador! The Minotauro is of Bahia (Salvador is the capital of Bahia).We have great championships of VALE TUDO and great names in Jiu-Jitsu here.
Why dont you visit Curitiba РPR too, you will love there!! and you can also visit Foz do Igua̤u, and know the igua̤u falls, one of the most bealtiful thinks of nature, you wont miss your trip!!
Lee, I’m a flash developer from Salvador and I wanna know more informations too about how can I subscribe on this User Group!!
Goodddd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Salvador is waiting for you!!!!!!!!!! Let us know where you’re gonna stay here!!!

When do come to Portugal? I know we are a small country (11 million, lesse than all S.Paulo city) but we have the best soccer player in the world
That’s good, but i’m still far from these cities you’re going to… that’s because we don’t have good developers and no user groups in most part of northeast! anyway, that would be great and i would appreciate it a lot!
Good luck on visiting our country! have a good time and take care!

Bad news
I live near to Porto Alegre/RS.
But I am happy to know. You cold like here.
Good travel!
Waiting for you!
wish i could be there.
Unfortunately, Florianopolis (capital of SC state) is out of Adobe Tour Brazil. I should like to know what happened, because Floripa was announced in June, but for now, we are out officialy.
We have some biggest IT companies of the world here and using Flex/AIR (http://www.totvs.com/home) … we have a lot of others big/medium/small companies (from various areas as medical, metalurgy, military, telecomunication, mobile, web in general) wanting to adopt the Flex, but we don’t have any support for this.
To be honest, is very hard mantain a good relationship. Sorry to outflow.
Hi Mr. Lee! It’s an honor for our group to host your presence in Salvador/Bahia/Brazil! For sure you’ll have great surprises on our beautiful land & smart people (most of them beautiful too).
Can I have your email/twitter for personal contact? I’m RIA-BA AUG’s Manager and want to exchange some words with you.
Thank you!
