Welcome to The ToolBook® User's Conference / e-Learning Authoring Conference

The ToolBook User's Conference is the leading conference for developers who author with ToolBook. Co-located with the e-Learning Authoring Conference, this is the best source for "how to" tips on creating e-Learning content in ToolBook, Flash, and other technologies. It is also has a special track for e-Learning managers. You can:

  • Meet other developers
  • Learn the latest techniques for creating e-Learning
  • Trade training and development stories
  • Get inside information about ToolBook, Flash, .NET, and related technologies
  • Improve your knowledge of SCORM, estimating, quality assurance, and project management
  • Have a great time
Mark your calendars for June 16 - 18, 2008 (preconference training June 14 and 15)
We hope that you will join us each summer for what we think is the world's best conference for training and web developers.

Best and most productive conference I've ever been to!

   -- comment from a 2006 attendee

I can emphatically state that attending my very first TBCON 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.

Personally, TBCON accelerates my knowledge and ability to efficiently use ToolBook by at least six months each year I have attended. I find it a very easy investment to cost-justify. And, on top of that, it is a lot of FUN!

   -- comment from a 2002 attendee

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

Attendee Comments:
  • Jeff - many thanks for organizing this great event!  (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)
  • Keep up the great work!  (2006)
  • The info and tools I got here saved me more than the conference costs.  (2006)
  • I would highly recommend attending TBCON. My work colleagues and I have attended the past two TBCONs and feel that each year what we have learned at TBCON has accelerated our use and knowledge of ToolBook by at least 6 months. There are many sessions at TBCON that are good for beginners; but I would especially recommend the preconference workshops as they will enable you to get hands-on experience using ToolBook. Best of all, you will meet lots of people who will become valuable resources for you as you become more familiar with ToolBook.  (2002)
  • The conference was great, the hospitality fantastic and the entertainment awesome.  (2000)
  • You guys have done a stunning job of the preparations for this. It puts all the other conferences I've ever been to to shame!  (2000)
  • TBCON was the best I have been to in several years. Cheers to Jeff, Chris, and all the Platte Canyon gang for a great conference.  (1999)
  • Not like the typical stuffy conference. Probably because there were no vendors trying to impress others with flashy exhibits.  (1999)
