I caught this conference via Dorkbot Boston, Mobile : Art && Code – a symposium and workshop series on mobile media and interactive arts.
The conference is located at Carnegie Mellon University from Nov 6-8, 2009 in Pittsburgh.
Although I was just down there for FlashPitt earlier last week, I’m considering attending this event. It’s got a mix of great workshops (fee-based) and conference sessions (free) only a gadget geek could love.
Never heard of it? Here’s some more info:
“ART && CODE is an event series and online community dedicated to the democratization of computer programming for artists, young people, and the rest of us.
This November 6-8, we continue our successful workshop/lecture series with MOBILE ART && CODE: Mobile Media and Interactive Arts – a symposium on the aesthetic and tactical potentials of mobile, networked and locative media. The three-day event will feature intimate, practical, arts-oriented programming workshops for popular mobile platforms (such as the iPhone, Android, Nokia Smartphones, Arduino, SMS, and Asterisk PBX systems) along with an all-day series of free lecture presentations that contextualizes the use of these technologies in a variety of contemporary critical, artistic and design practices.
MOBILE ART && CODE is made possible by a generous grant from Microsoft Research, with oversight by the Center for Computational Thinking at CMU. The ART && CODE symposium series is a project of the CMU STUDIO for Creative Inquiry, directed by Golan Levin. If you have questions or concerns about MOBILE ART && CODE, please email Golan Levin at golan@andrew.cmu.edu.”

Looks like there are a bunch of workshops … including some on iPhone, Arduino, as well as at least one Flash Lite workshop : Flash Lite : Flash on Mobile Phones.
