The training will be held here at Adobe’s San Francisco office and Emily Kim will be the instructor. You can register here.

Since Flash Cast is partially based on Flash Lite 1.1 Adobe is also offering a one day Flash Lite 1.1 training course on Monday the 25th August if you don’t have any mobile Flash development experience. If you’re familiar with Flash Lite development then it’s not necessary for you to attend this training.
