Announcement: Experience the Power of Acrobat

Well... first day of the Acrobat in Action road show is tomorrow in Chicago. I'm here, watching the presenters prepare. This will be a great opportunity to see Acrobat 8 in action. The morning starts with a keynote by Tom Hale, the executive VP of my group at Adobe - Knowledge Worker Solutions, where the Acrobat & Connect family of products are produced.
After Tom's keynote, we'll see a 45-minute review of new functionality in Acrobat 8 to enable you to be more productive. Then we'll break up in to vertically-focused subject groups: Legal, Creative Professional/Marketing,
AEC/Manufacturing, General Business, and eLearning/Education.

After lunch, you have one of two options - attend the Acrobat Developer Workshop, hosted by Joel Geraci, our Acrobat/PDF Technical Evangelist, or attend a session on Adobe Creative Suite 2.3 - the latest update to the Creative Suite family, which includes Acrobat 8 Professional and Dreamweaver.

I encourage you to attend one of these events if possible. If you're not from Chicago - you can attend via Acrobat Connect, or we'll be having events in Toronto (Nov 14), Irvine, CA (Nov 17), San Francisco (Nov 30), and New York City (Dec 4).

Acrobat Conference - Midwest

Next Monday - Wednesday (Nov 6-8), the leaders of our Nebraska Acrobat User Group will be hosting an
Acrobat Conference in Council Bluffs, IA (that's right across the state line from Omaha, NE).
Lots of great community experts will be there, including Ted Padova, author of Acrobat PDF Bible.
I've attached a map to show a 2-hour drive and a 4-hour drive to the event. I encourage you to attend either for the
1/2 day on Monday - or the full conference Tuesday-Wednesday.
