Flashpitt finished up about a 4 months ago, and I feel it was a complete success. We had a great turn out, around 200 people, considering our goal was 100 people I think we crushed it.

Unfortunately I was half of the team who put it on I didn’t get to see any sessions and considering that Flashpitt is my baby I can’t give an unbiased review, so here are some links to what people thought.
