Word of caution. 360Flex in San Jose was a one hour drive from our offices so lots of Flex engineers showed up. There will be fewer of us in Seattle I suspect unless Ted loads a bunch of us in the Winnebago. Personally, I'd much rather be in Seattle in August than Chicago in September. However, I don't think I'll be at either this year.

MAX is a fun conference. That said, 360|Flex will be three days of Flex, Flex, and Flex. No acrobat, no dreamweaver, fireworks, no CF, flash IDE, just Flex. We cover Flex with backends (so there's at least one talk with CF in it LOL ) Components, Apollo, etc. As was said, the Flex team tends to be there, people looking for Flex devs are there, I know several people that met clients there. I met several, as well as potential employers. It's a Flex Fest for sure. Drive to MAX? then you miss out on all the partying and drinkin'! :) Hopefully that helped even a little in the decision.

Max is an Adobe conference, and I suspect will have a ton of non-Flex content, plus will focus more on "cool people using our product / product roadmap / company roadmap " without going deep into details.
