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.

Learn the latest techniques for creating e-Learning

Trade training and development stories

Get inside information about ToolBook, Flash, Silverlight, .NET, and related
technologies

management

Have a great time
Mark your calendars for August 3 - 5, 2009 (preconference training August 1 and
2)
We hope that you will join us each summer for what we think is the world's best
conference for training and web developers.
By the way, great experience at my first TBCON last week! Good
presentations, friendly people, and good take aways! Can't wait to get my hands
on the presenter's materials!
-- comment from a 2008 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.
-- Kim Halat, Avsoft, Inc., 2004
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!
-- comment from a 2005 attendee
