Westin Alexandria

Above: Members of the Adobe InDesign team take questions and get feedback at the 2010 Print and ePublishing Conference.

Q: Will I be able to ask questions?
A: Unlike some of the huge, impersonal conferences out there, the Print & ePublishing Conference is designed for personal interaction — between you and the world-class speakers, and between you and other experts in your field. We encourage you to bring your questions! The PePcon Help Desk will be set up, ready to help problem-solve.

Q: What kind of ROI can I expect from this event? (How can I justify the cost to my boss?)
A: Along with the $450 of products and services you'll receive, you will:

  • Benefit from learning up-to-date best practices, taught by the top experts in the world, covering all aspects of publishing technology (from EPUB to XML, PDF to DPS, and more);
  • Meet and network with top experts in the field who can help solve problems on site and in the future;
  • Find potential clients, vendors, peers, and software developers with solutions for your needs;
  • Discover the newest technology from Adobe and the EPUB standards committee -- including tools and processes you're not even aware of yet -- so you'll be prepared to make good decisions for the next 18 months.

Also, note that you don't have to worry about a per diem for breakfast and lunch, as they're provided.
