Welcome to The ToolBook® User's Conference

The ToolBook User's Conference is the leading conference for developers who author with ToolBook. This is the best source for "how to" tips on creating e-Learning content in ToolBook 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 and related technologies
  • Improve your knowledge of SCORM, estimating, quality assurance, and project 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.

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. ...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!

Attendee Comments:
  • My favorite part was the opportunity to meet and chat with other developers to see how they have solved their problems.  (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)
  • TBCON is a great investment and time well spent!  (2007)
  • The conference was great! I learned a lot and have already tried some new things. Hope to be back next year.  (2006)
  • Very good! Enjoyed the low-key, personable atmosphere. Very conducive to learning with the small sessions. Excellent networking and problem-solving atmosphere!  (2005)
  • 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.  (2004)
  • In addition to material gained from sessions, the cross talk after hours was invaluable. Excellent for contacts too!  (2002)
  • As a totally objective observer, TBCON rocks! It's where the developers go to learn rather than some of the conferences that are intended to sell product. In most sessions, you'll learn new, real-world, hands-on stuff, rather than being bombarded with marketing stuff. Jeff and Chris have done a wonderful job of taking over the real-world, hands-on education for ToolBook developers.  (2001)
  • At first I felt very inadequate in terms of my knowledge and where we are at with ToolBook, but now I realized that with this conference, we will be light-years ahead of where we are today when we come to the conference next year.  (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)
