Europe will have it’s own Flash conference with some heavy hitters coming to Amsterdam for a 3-day conference. Evisdently, this is not a scam like the previous conferences you may have heard of.

To top it off, it’s going to be held in one of my favourite music venues, Paradiso in Amsterdam, hell, even Kevin Lynch is coming to party, woo-hoo! I think I might have to go to this one…

From the official site:

[size=1] **SPARK, Europe’s premier Flash event,** showcases everything on the powerful **Macromedia® Flash®** platform for developing content and applications. The jam-packed, three-day, event features educational and inspirational seminars on motion graphics, video, mobile, interactivity, and open source. **SPARK** is produced by **United Digital Artists** and sponsored by Macromedia, and will be held November 16-18 in Amsterdam’s celebrated **Paradiso** , the historic music venue whose stage has hosted everyone from the Rolling Stones to Phish.[/size]
