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.
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!
-- comment from a 2008 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!

We've taken every available opportunity to point out to management the benefits of our attendance last year - a day doesn't go by that we are not glad we went!

This year's TBCON was excellent. It was very productive for our team. You do a great job with this conference. A good balance between learning new things, connecting with peers, interfacing with SumTotal personnel, and discovering potential partners and future customers.

Just wanted to drop a quick note to let you know how much I liked your conference. It was wonderful and I hope I can be there again in 2008.

This is just a short "Thank You" to everyone that was at TBCON this year. This was my first experience, and it was GREAT! I learned a lot and got a lot of great ideas. I dealt with some concepts that have been really hard for me to grasp, but was explained them in a manner that I could understand. Not to mention all the info on VBTrain and the .Net stuff. On that note, this is to anyone that has never been to TBCON, "GO"! Not only is it a good time, but a excellent learning forum. Do what ever it takes to make it to the conference next year, beg the boss, scrounge up the change for travel and expenses, whatever it takes, it will be worth it.

Just want to say again how much I appreciate Platte Canyon and this conference. It's obvious that you enjoy hosting this event and I appreciate the fact that you do it for us. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

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.

There is very little doubt that you guys have done a great job organizing this conference. The topics are on the money. You have done the ToolBook community a very real service.
