In November 2011, Adobe announced that it would be ceasing development on Flash Player for mobile devices and increasing its commitment to web standards.  A few months later, where are we now?  

In this candid and informal discussion with Adobe Evangelist Kevin Hoyt, we will talk about just that.  Get an insight as to the changes Adobe made and why.  Get some details on Adobe's contributions to web standards including CSS Regions and CSS Shaders.  See the as of yet unreleased Adobe Edge project for animating web content.  And of course, ask your questions about what the future may hold.
