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!

Actually, I learned so much that I can't possibly type it all in an email! And the conversations that go on while you're there can never be recapped the same way.
