Conference attendees received free access to the new ToolBook & VBTrain.Net User’s Conference “Archives for Attendees” web application. This allows online access to all session content from TBCON 2003, including ToolBook files, .NET solutions, PowerPoint slides, web links, photos, videos, bonus materials, descriptions of each session, presenter information, etc.

You can filter by session type or presenter, navigate through matching sessions, view material online, and more. The archive allows you to view much of the content online and download the rest.

Even if you missed the conference, you can still get access to the TBCON 2003 Archives for Attendees application. The price for unlimited access is $50. There are also bundles available that include both the new Archives application plus conference CD’s from previous years.
