The e-Learning Authoring Conference

Welcome to The e-Learning Authoring Conference

The e-Learning Authoring is the leading conference for developers who author with Flash, ToolBook, and other technologies. Co-located with The ToolBook User's Conference, this is the best source for "how to" tips on creating e-Learning content. 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 Flash, ToolBook, .NET, and related technologies
Improve your knowledge of SCORM, estimating, quality assurance, and project management
Have a great time

Mark your calendars for June 16 - 18, 2008 (preconference training June 14 and 15)

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 ToolBook User's Conference / e-Learning Authoring Conference 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.

This is the only conference I have ever attended that is not primarily a sales pitch. Great job!

Attendee Comments:

This conference had the best social atmosphere of any I have attended. Everyone was helpful. (2006)
Good location. Easy access from airports and plenty to do and see. Town was easy to get around for those not staying in dorms. (2005)
In addition to material gained from sessions, the cross talk after hours was invaluable. Excellent for contacts too! (2002)
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. (2001)
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)
Most of all, TBCON is a serious, focused three days with no frills. Lots of seminars, no vendors and expositions, long winded speeches, or tons of extra-curricular activity. Therefore, the money spent on the conference and getting there goes totally to your development and nothing else. I think it's the best bargain for the money. (2001)
TBCON was the most worthwhile conference I have been to as there is so much for someone like me. (2000)
The conference was great! It was nice being among other TBK developers and swapping stories and experiences. (1999)
I thought the conference was excellent! You guys put on a great show. Hopefully, I can convince the powers to be to attend/present next year! Thank you again for all the hard work and long hours you put in to make it a success! (1999)
Not like the typical stuffy conference. Probably because there were no vendors trying to impress others with flashy exhibits. (1999)
