Attendee Comments:
  • Biggest bang for the buck ever!  (2006)
  • Best dorm food I've ever had.  (2006)
  • I came for the management line for self development and to have access to specialists in the other fields. This worked very well.  (2006)
  • I want you to know that I had a great time at TBCON and will highly recommend it to anyone I meet who is interested. You guys put together a fun and informative TB summer camp.  (2006)
  • Sessions were very good and the info was excellent.  (2005)
  • I'm a novice and felt that, even in the sessions that were more advanced, I got one or two things I could use.  (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!  (2003)
  • I'm out of adjectives -- thanks for another terrific conference!!  (2002)
  • The conference was great, the hospitality fantastic and the entertainment awesome.  (2000)
