FREE Panel Discussion: The Future of Flash and HTML5

Adobe Flash's ability to create interactive content with small file sizes has made it a popular choice for web developers for over a decade. But Apple's refusal to allow Flash on its smartphones and tablets has paved the way for a new player in the interactive field: HTML5.

The HTML5 standard won't be fully formalized until 2014, but many web developers are already creating remarkable interactive content for HTML5-capable browsers.

We're bringing together a panel of experts in both Flash and HTML5 to talk about what's ahead - the good, the bad, and the ugly for Flash and HTML5 alike. As always, this panel is FREE and open to the public, but panels fill up, so register to make sure you have a seat!
