If you happen to live in the EMEA and are a developer interested in going hands-on with the BlackBerry PlayBook all while learning a thing or two about porting your apps using Adobe tools, then RIM is looking for you. In fact, they're coming to you:
You'll want to make sure you sign up early as spots are going to be limited but, it's a great oppurtunity for those in the EMEA region. Plus, as noted by RIM there will be more cities added to the list at a later time, so if you can't make out to any of the currently listed -- chances are you may be able to make it to another later on.We are delighted to announce our exclusive BlackBerry® PlayBook™ tablet developer and business seminar series in association with Adobe®, which we’ll be taking on the road across the EMEA region. At our exclusive – and free! – half-day event, you’ll get hands-on access to our new tablet and find out everything you need to know about developing a multi-screen strategy for a client, converting your existing Adobe® Flex or Adobe® AIR® apps, or turning your ideas into successful, revenue-generating reality.
The event comprises two parallel sessions, one business-focused and one technology-focused, and technical teams from Research In Motion® and Adobe will also be available to answer your questions.
