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!

I just cannot thank you, your family, and other associates for hosting and managing one of the best conferences I have ever been to. I am so happy I attended. The pre-conference workshops and seminars were extremely beneficial for me.

I had to spend 6 hours in different airports during my trip home to Denmark, but I used the time to made myself a handy utility tool for automatically setting fonts, converting pictures to Paint Objects, lock fields and a lot more activities I used to spend hours on. So thanks you for your inspiration. I hope to have the possibility to participate in future ToolBook conferences.

The help desk was the best part. Solved some "hot, burning" issues I had.

The conference lived up to everything it was advertised to be and more. While the regular conference was great, I really enjoyed the pre conference. Those who did not attend the preconference really missed seeing you guys in action and what you have to share. I have already incorporated a couple of the things I learned at the conference.
