ToolBook User's Conference / e-Learning Authoring Conference Preconference Sessions

A Valuable Opportunity to Receive Training on ToolBook, Flash, JavaScript, Silverlight, and other e-Learning Technologies

The 2009 preconference sessions have not been determined but will be similar to the 2008 ones shown below. Email us at info@tbcon.com with questions, suggested topics, or if you need to sign up for budget reasons before the sessions are finalized.

There will be two day's worth of Preconference Training sessions available for attendees.  Presented in 4-hour blocks over two days, these sessions are in-depth training opportunities. 

This opportunity is designed to provide a bargain for anyone hoping to either learn how to harness the power of ToolBook, Flash, JavaScript, or Silverlight.

You are welcome to add, remove, or change sessions after signing up for the conference.

• I really enjoy the whole program. I always do at least 2 preconference sessions and maybe all but one or two sessions Monday and Tuesday.  (2007)
• Preconference workshops were the best!  (2006)
• As a beginner, I definitely benefitted from the preconference sessions.  (2005)
• Preconference sessions were the best part!  (2005)
• I would highly recommend attending TBCON. My work colleagues and I have attended the past two TBCONs and feel that each year what we have learned at TBCON has accelerated our use and knowledge of ToolBook by at least 6 months. There are many sessions at TBCON that are good for beginners; but I would especially recommend the preconference workshops as they will enable you to get hands-on experience using ToolBook. Best of all, you will meet lots of people who will become valuable resources for you as you become more familiar with ToolBook.  (2002)
• The preconference hands-on workshops were the best!  (2001)
• Preconference was excellent. I learned so much.  (2000)
