CS3 Summit is Coming to Chicago
The 2007 Creative Suite Conference will be held in Chicago from October 15th-20th. In addition to InDesign; Photoshop, Illustrator, Acrobat, Dreamweaver and Flash will all be addressed. This is a huge event and I highly recommend attending to anyone who can make it. If you live in the area and aren’t sure if you want to go or not you can always attempt to win a free pass from BarryCon.
David Blatner will be giving multiple presentations on InDesign along with several other speakers. The full schedule can be found at Barrycon. Every day offers fantastic events, in fact you may have to make some tough choices between events that run concurrently. Below I picked one event a day that I’m most excited about.
