Best and most productive conference I've ever been to!
-- comment from a 2006 attendee
I can emphatically state that attending my very first ToolBook
User's Conference / e-Learning Authoring Conference has been one of the most
defining moments of my business. The business has not been the same ever since
I've learned how to integrate a database with a ToolBook file. After making our
entire CBT load from a database, we then used the VBTrain.Net controls and what
we learned at TBCON to do the same thing with our ASP.NET content. The nice
part is that we create a web version or a tbk version literally at the click of
a button. Unlike the past, we now spend most of our time proofing rather than
assembling, which is a really good thing.

This is the only conference I have ever attended that is not
primarily a sales pitch. Great job!

The conference was very well organized. This was my first time and I never felt overwhelmed or lost. I truly appreciated that.

The best part was the opportunity to speak face to face with ToolBook and SumTotal people as well as the chance to get ideas from others.

You do a superb job at keeping us all informed; I can't think of any other conference that does it so well and so personally.

This is the only conference I have ever attended that is not primarily a sales pitch. Great job!

It kind of reminds me of something Johnny Carson used to do with the "Amazing Karnack" where he would hold the envelope up to his head and name the content inside based on some clue written on the outside. In this case I could envision the outside saying "Sex and Platte Canyon' s ToolBook Conference". The inside would say "name two great experiences you have to personally be a player in order to appreciate". Words do not describe the value and rewards from attending this conference. I continue to tell my management that if there is only one thing we get to attend due to budgetary issues I want it to be this conference.

Being a very novice user I appreciated being able to come and learn as much as I did. It was affordable, nicely located, and packed with information and not cluttered with sales pitches or vendors. It stayed focused on helping ToolBook users. Thanks!!
