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!

I went for the first time last year as a new person to TB. It's hard to describe the learning atmosphere at the conference. It's not all work though. After a long, hard 8 hour day in classes, some great entertainment, food, and various liquid refreshments are available. Sometimes, the entertainment is continued in the dorm area where great renditions of Australian songs (complete with authentic accents) are presented free of charge. So, my recommendation: go to Colorado Springs this summer and be prepared for a great experience.

Being a very novice user I appreciated being able to come and learn as much as I did. It was affordable, nicely located, and packed with information and not cluttered with sales pitches or vendors. It stayed focused on helping ToolBook users. Thanks!!
