By the way, great experience at my first TBCON last week! Good
presentations, friendly people, and good take aways! Can't wait to get my hands
on the presenter's materials!

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!

This was my first conference and it was great! I will definitely attend future conferences. I'm amazed at how much I've learned in just three days!

I wanting to take this opportunity to THANK YOU both for TBCON 2001. I learned so much! At one point about a month ago, I was working in TB and ran in to a situation using some canned widget and just could not get it to work correctly. Within about 10 minutes, I had a script that did the same thing only better! My apps are much more efficient to the end user as well. My boss looked at my latest work and immediately asked ... "Did you learn this at the conference?"

It kind of reminds me of something Johnny Carson used to do with the "Amazing Karnack" where he would hold the envelope up to his head and name the content inside based on some clue written on the outside. In this case I could envision the outside saying "Sex and Platte Canyon' s ToolBook Conference". The inside would say "name two great experiences you have to personally be a player in order to appreciate". Words do not describe the value and rewards from attending this conference. I continue to tell my management that if there is only one thing we get to attend due to budgetary issues I want it to be this conference.
