What a fantastic conference! The Adobe CS3 conference was a two day (June 19 and June 20) networking, product immersion and just plain old fun “experience” for only $199; can’t beat that!

That price not only included a bunch of classes and networking opportunities, but also a fantastic dinner on the first day (I mean shrimp, prime rib, Chinese food and even an open hosted bar).

There were plenty of networking opportunities as well, including the lunches and dinners, the get-togethers after the days ended and a bird-of-a-feather meeting.

Pre-conference Sessions
The conference started with a “Pre-Conference Session”. There were 5 sessions to choose from, including Rich Internet Application for Developers, Video, Management/IT, Photographers and Print Service Providers.

There is a great new learning resource covering everything Adobe CS3 and it comes from Adobe itself.

Check out the Adobe Creative Suite 3 Video Workshop located at http://www.adobe.com/designcenter/video_workshop/

Currently, they offer eLearning videos on 13 of their products including Acrobat 8, Bridge, Contribute, Device Central, Dreamweaver, Fireworks, Flash, Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop, Stock Photos and Version Cue.

You start out by selecting which product you are interested in, then select from a variety of topics for that product and finally you select what title you want to see.

If you create training videos, software training materials, or any other kind of eLearning, you should sign up for the eLearning industry overview webminar sponsored by Adobe.

I found this seminar in the following Blog entry by Silke Fleischer of Adobe:
