I am very happy that I can officially announce the Adobe Influxis Latin Flash Tour! As I have talked about in previous posts, I was looking for a company to sponsor the tour and the great guys over at Influxis didn’t hesitate to jump on board. They immediately expressed an interest in helping to spread some Flash love to many places in Latin America that are not ordinarily on the itinerary. I can’t express enough how much I appreciate them doing this as the tour would not be happening without them. More about Influxis in some future posts, but now let’s talk about the tour.
Below is a first draft of the tour graphic but you can go ahead and embed it into your blogs if you want to start generating buzz about the tour. Now to all my new Brazilian friends out there you will notice the lack of your flag on the graphic. Unfortunately this tour won’t be hitting your country this time. There are a few reasons for this. Firstly, I just got back from a 4 city tour there and visited with dozens of companies as well. A visit to Brazil would mean I would have to cut out a country like Chile or Peru. Also there may be people joining the tour and the visa process is not something that can be done at the last minute. But from what I hear there will be a Flash Camp in Brazil very soon.
The actual schedule is close to being finalized. Make sure you check back here often to see if there have been any changes. For now the schedule is the following:
Nov 9th – Buenos Aires, Argentina
Nov 11th – Lima, Peru
Nov 13th – Bogotá, Colombia
Nov 16th – San Jose, Costa Rica
Nov 18th – Mexico City, Mexico
Wow I wish I could be there to attend!
Congrats to you Lee, for putting this together so quickly!
And to Influxis, for having a bigger logo on the promo banner than Adobe! Well deserved.
This is great news! It will be interesting, we are great developers and designers too. Thanks for considering us. Best regards from Cancun,Mexico.
Wohoooooo!!!!!!!! Cooool!!! We will see u sooon!!!!!! so happy!!!!!!
Wow! I’ll be there!! thanks to come to Costa Rica
I guess the event locations are still undefined.
And thanks for your care about the community, i wont be able to go to Max but this wil make me very happy
hey guys Im from Costa Rica and I will be there!
@Absulit
I know it’s not Adobe’s fault, but is very sad to not to see Brazil included on it just because there’s no company here able/disposed to support/sponsor it.
But also, is sad that we, from UG’s, is not able to help on it. We didn’t have access to enough information to do so. Maybe if we had, we could be more effective on help Adobe to look for sponsors.
I sent you an email with suggestions.
Thank you for your availability on it. I know you did it. Hope to be able (we, brazilians UG’s managers) to help on it next time!
In time, congratulations to our “hermanos” that will be able to have Lee’s presence, one more time, with great content for sure! I hope to be able to attend at least one!
@Vicente the primary reason is one of time. We can only really visit 6 places and since I just got back from Brazil it didn’t seem fair to Chile or Peru. The visa situation was also a major factor as well. There may be an additional speaker at the last minute so that would present a real challenge. Adobe will be back soon though!
Welcome to Mexico. Right now there’s a big people and resources movement to have everything prepared for your arrival!
Hey Lee, speaking of conferences, are you making your way to FlashPitt this year?

Hi,
