Adobe's Allen Ellison, Senior Solutons Architect at Adobe will talk with us about what's coming up in both Flash and HTML5 in games and apps with a practical talk centered on the realities of putting games and apps on TV.

Allen Ellison is a Senior Solutions Architect at Adobe, and is helping developers to bring their games to digital television platforms, having helped Adobe customers with multi-platform solutions in both gaming and video — including the MLB and a billboard in times square.  Previously, Allen co-founded EffectiveUI which still thrives today as a successful rich media services agency and has 3 decades experience in the software development industry helping organizations as varied as the UN Southern Caucus’s 32 countries collaborate and align on sustainable development policies and DARPA and other government agencies with implementing Adobe Flash Media Server.

Outside of work, Allen is an avid photographer and abstract videographer. You can tell by the pic!
