Top Ten Reasons to Attend
e-Learning DevCon (August 7-9, 2006)

This is the premier event for e-learning developers and instructional designers. I've teamed up with the guys at Rapid Intake to make sure this event is better than ever before. It's the only conference truly designed and managed by people who are in the trenches doing the work. Here are 10 great reasons to attend.

1) Flash 8 and Mobile Devices: Attend the seminar that will show you how to take advantage of Flash 8's new features for authoring for mobile devices. Just-in-time, just-enough performance support to cell phones is coming. Are you ready?

"Best conference I've attended out of 10 conferences I've attended in the last four years." - S.F. from NovaStar 2) Evidence-Based Training: Participate in my keynote talk on evidence-based training and how it is going to revolutionize our industry. Companies that adopt its tenets will have unsurpassed growth. Those who don't will quickly be left behind.

3) Podcasting & RSS: Learn how to create and use RSS to tag and syndicate a podcast for mobile, audio learning.

"By far the best conference I've ever attended for learning practical applications that can be put into use right away. I came away with the 'how-to' and not just theory." - L.S. from Cuna Mutual 4) Wikis: Learn how to install and maintain a wiki for learning, collaboration and knowledge management. Become a hero when you install one for your own company; thrill the boss when you sell this service to clients.

5) Games for Learning: See how the latest game theory and game technologies can be used to create fun, engaging learning programs.

The only conference to receive 4/4 star review by Training Media Review. 6) Party with the E-LearningGuru Tribe! Well, the conference is in Utah so not sure if we'll be partying only in spirit, but we'll do our best! I'm looking forward to hanging out with you and our fellow rock stars of the information age. (But you need a special Guru All Access Pass to join in)

7) Award Winning Secrets of Instructional Design: My custom e-learning development shop won 10 awards last year for our work (I thought it was only 8 but my team tells me it's 10). We use a unique instructional design system -- that anybody can learn how to use -- that simplifies Gagne's 9 Event model. For the first time ever I'll be teaching it outside my company.

8) Simulations: Review the lastest theory along with practical design tips to implement a "Learning by Doing" approach.

9) Lowest price conference out there! Only $699 if you sign up before 4/30/06.

10) Meet new friends and peers: Want to geek-out and swap code tips with fellow techies? Or maybe you'll be chillin' like a villain with your friends. Either way there will be plenty of time to expand your social network which is oh so important for ongoing learning and career opportunities.

Did I say "ten" reasons... remember always underpromise and over-deliver...

11) Video iPod Raffle: You'll automatically enter a raffle for a video iPod

12) Another iPod Raffle: You'll get an EXTRA chance to win a video iPod with a raffle just for e-Learning Guru members (but you got to use the Guru All Access Pass to participate)

13) Tons of optional pre and post-conference workshops for additional training opportunities. Get training in Flash 8, Dreamweaver, ActionScript, XML, CourseBuilder and more.

14) Cheap Rooms! Hey, you can stay at a normal upscale Marriott if you want (uh, that would be me) but since the conference is actually at the University of Utah, you can stay in cheap residence hall housing for $40 a night, or at the Guest House for $69 a night. Your boss will kiss you for being so thrifty!

In short, you'll get a year of training and be up to speed on the most cutting edge learning technologies in just a couple of days of time. Your career needs you to go... you clients need you to have these skills... your boss wants you to know this stuff... what are you waiting for? Register now!
