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!
