This year’s edition of the Adobe Learning Summit (ALS) is scheduled for November 9th at the San Jose Fairmont. It is collocated with DevLearn. This year ALS is going to be bigger and more exciting than ever. In many ways ALS is turning into MAX for eLearning. This is where we show some of the first sneak peeks of upcoming versions of our eLearning products. Those who attended last year will remember RJ’s session where he unveiled Adobe Captivate 4 and the announcement of our plans for an Adobe eLearning Suite. You should expect more of this at this year’s ALS. OK, let me let you in on one such plan- ALS attendees will get a first look at the Captivate Mac beta! We will also demonstrate some of the snazzy ideas our engineers are working on, that really don’t have a release schedule - but are just great ideas that we would like your feedback on. In addition to Captivate and eLearning Suite you will also see Presenter, Connect Pro and Flash.

We have Clay Shirky (the guru on social and economic effects of internet technologies) providing the opening keynote. Adobe’s increased focus on eLearning is underlined by the fact that this year, none other than Shantanu Narayen, our CEO, will be delivering the inaugural address.

You can register for the conference here. The Product Management team will also conduct deep dive sessions on Captivate and eLearning Suite on the sidelines of this conference. If you wish to  participate in these sessions, please drop me an email.
