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.
-- 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

If your personal happiness or professional success revolves around your proficiency in using ToolBook, then you owe it to yourself to attend this conference. If you are just starting the adventure, you can stem the learning curve by years in just a few days. For the more experienced user, a conversation with Tim, Michael, Charley or Denny on anything related to the product will open new avenues for efficient methodology, process, and understanding. As conferences go you can't match the $$ value.

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.
