Flash on the Beach started in Sep 28th to Oct 1st in Brighton, UK. And as mentioned on the official site:

If you are a designer, developer, coder, student, manager, game developer, artist, animator or a newbie, then this conference is for you! Don’t miss this opportunity to see over 40 of the best minds in the industry delivering 3 full days of awe-inspiring sessions.

This year we have another stellar line up of speakers. We love our venue! The Dome has so much history, charm and character, we would be mad to use anywhere else, and are already looking forward again to the most exciting Flash conference for years!
