Last summer I attended the InDesign Conference in Boston for the first time. Wow, and I thought I knew InDesign? I came away from the three days of non-stop seminars so stuffed with InDesign tips and techniques that they were leaking out my ears.

I'll be at the 2005 InDesign Conference this summer — in San Francisco! — not just as an attendee, but also as a speaker. I'm doing a one-day pre-show training seminar, "Moving to an InCopy/InDesign Workfow." Then I can relax and enjoy the rest of the event, and soak up more info that will help me be a more productive user as well as a better trainer.

Hosted by David Blatner, the conference is "the annual gathering of InDesign experts, developers, designers and users." In addition to Blatner, speakers include experts like Sandee Cohen, Dov Isaacs, Steve Holmes (he's the one who does the Total Training videos, love that accent), Claudia McCue, and Steve Werner. A full list of speakers and their bios is on the conference web site (URL below).

June is coming up fast. If you're thinking of going, you can register online and get an early bird discounted rate. If you're a subscriber to DG, I can give you my own discount code ($45 off) on top of that. (Per Show policies, I can't post it on my web site. I have been/will be including it in the e-mail versions of DesignGeek. Subscribe today, it's free!) Note that the DesignGeek discount doesn't expire, but the early-bird rates do, of course.
