Attendee Comments:
  • Will pay for itself in NO time!  (2007)
  • What a Great Time I had at TBCON. The degree of professionalism demonstrated by the entire staff was awesome and it was a pleasure seeing the masters at work.  (2007)
  • My favorite part was the evening receptions. Very fun.  (2006)
  • The management track was a good new initiative.  (2006)
  • Good dining atmosphere; very accessible and ample space to visit w/ other conference members while dining.  (2005)
  • The conference paid for itself before the Preconference Sessions were even over. Loved the hands-on!  (2005)
  • If your personal happiness or professional success revolves around your proficiency in using ToolBook, then you owe it to yourself to attend this conference. If you are just starting the adventure, you can stem the learning curve by years in just a few days. For the more experienced user, a conversation with Tim, Michael, Charley or Denny on anything related to the product will open new avenues for efficient methodology, process, and understanding. As conferences go you can't match the $$ value.  (2004)
  • Best value in a conference I have experienced. Excellent learning and networking experience.  (2000)
