On October 23 and 25th I will be speaking in Ottawa and Montreal respectively as part of the FlashInTheCan 4 city tour. Then, November 3-5 I will be in Barcelona to speak at the FlashEurope conference. Both of these conferences have a great looking roster of speakers (can't wait to meet some of the European Flashers I've known online but never met, particularly), and should be hella fun.
I'm going to be doing the same talk for both - diverging a bit from my usual semi-dry topics (OOP, OOAD, development process, usability, etc), and doing something a little bit more creative. It should be a lot of fun! My session info follows:
Object Oriented Procrastination
Object Oriented Programming is commonly associated with application development (boring but profitable), but it can also be used to create less practical (and much more entertaining) pieces. This session examines the inspiration, architecture and code of a number of Grant's recent multimedia experiments. Designers and Flash newcomers will be introduced to the basics of OOP and programmatic motion in ActionScript 2, while more experienced coders will learn architectural best-practices and hopefully be inspired to use their skills for more creative pursuits.
I hope to meet some of you there. Be sure to post in the comments if you're going to be attending one of these, or if you have ideas for things to do/see in and around Barcelona.
I'm planning to get back to posting, with some new techniques we've discovered internally, and some more news on glic over the next week or so... things have just been super-busy! (which is good for business, but bad for blogging)

We never got to see Daedalous after you spoke about it at the last conference. :(
I'll actually be in Canada in Sept. but you won't be speaking there then. :(
How about some more goodies for those of us loyal to your blog. ;)

aj - I always make a point of posting my session notes to my site at: http://www.gskinner.com/blog/archives/000095.html (accessible through the "Conference Session Notes" link to the right). As far as video of the talk goes, that's really up to the conferences themselves, and unfortunately none of them have made any recent talks available.
Stay tuned though, because some of my talks may become available in the future.
