The biggest Flash conference on the planet. Two times a year, top flash designers, developers, freaks and other flash fanatics meet to give lectures, discuss flash, make workshops and give awards. One of the most interesting events there is the Flash Film Festival, where awards for best flash works in different categories are being given. Apply, anyone can! You never know, maybe there is a prize waiting just for you! I don't like the fact that this conference is being held in the US only, and not around the world. Oh, well. Just look below :)

This Flash festival and event is being held annually in Paris, France. The event's program is rich with conferences, film projections, expos, competitions and fun evenings. I personally don't like the website's navigation interface, which is not very user-friendly.
