FITC Toronto 2009 | The Design + Technology Festival

FITC

FITC (Flash in the Can) is one of the largest and longest running events for the design and technology community. The 2009 Toronto event celebrated what it means to “live, think and play outside the lines” this year, with three days packed full of inspiring sessions focused on the art and craft of interactive design and technology.

Interestingly, the “Flash in the Can” name is a reference to Adobe’s Flash software and CAN – taken from Canada. The inaugural festival previously focused strictly on Flash. However, the scope of events has broadened to include motion design, creative inspiration, mobile and gaming technologies as well as other forms of interactive and digital media technologies such as Flex, Air and others.

A lot has happened in the past month and a half, me-wise and in the world of the web, digital media and marketing/ communications, some of which I hope to write about soon (soon as things calm down a bit that is!)
