&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Agenda&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;ugc-html&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hi everyone in the Adobe User Group in Madison and beyond. I wanted to reach out and spread the word about FlashBelt, a Flash conference in Minneapolis next month. Three days of speakers and sessions (and evenening festivities) that cover a wide range of topics for beginners and pros with one day of workshops.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;FlashBelt grows more every year and this year is no exception whether you are approaching Flash from a design perspective or are interested in advancing your ActionScript and/or Flex capabilities.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I thought I would post this event in this group because it&apos;s definitely something to know about if you work or want to work in Flash and because it&apos;s sponsored by Adobe with some key people from Adobe who will also be speaking about some of the new features that comes with CS4 and what&apos;s in store for the next generation of ActionScript and Flash in the future.&lt;/p&gt;
