Less than 3 weeks until RMAC, and it’s filling up quickly…  So we figured we’d introduce you to a couple more speakers.  And here they are now.  Kevin Siegel is the founder and president of IconLogic, Inc. (That’s Kevin to the right there.)  He has written more than 100 step-by-step computer training books, and he is presenting two sessions at RMAC.  One of the sessions is with Barbara Binder who is the Principal of Rocky Mountain Training.  That’s a lot of knowledge RMAC is droppin’ on ya.

RMAC: Hi Kevin.  What sessions will you be presenting at RMAC?

Kevin: I will be presenting Six New Things in Adobe Captivate 4, and Introduction to the Adobe Technical Communication Suite 2 w/Barb Binder.

RMAC: Sounds like you have a busy day on your hands.  Can you give us a little detail on your Captivate session?

Kevin: During this action-packed session you will learn the six hottest new features in Adobe Captivate 4 including: the redesigned and enhanced recording interface (including the new Panning feature); the improved PowerPoint 2007 integration workflow; creating and using variables; adding widgets; and creating and using Advanced Actions.

RMAC: Action-packed, eh?  Sounds great, but will there be ninjas?

Kevin: No ninjas, but I hope to really get people psyched about Captivate.

RMAC: We’re psyched already.  How about your hands-on session with Barb Binder?

Kevin: Well, you can look at it this way: You’ve purchased Adobe’s Technical Communications Suite version 2. Well done! You’ve made a great choice. Each of the programs in the suite (Framemaker, Captivate and RoboHelp, Photoshop and Acrobat) is a top-notch application. Of course, if you’re like many people who have purchased the suite, trying to figure out what the programs do, and how they work together can be daunting.

Barb and I will help you solve this mystery! During this session you’ll get an introduction to the programs that make up the suite. After that, you will learn to integrate the suite’s applications to create interactive PDFs, Help Systems and printed documents from one single source.

RMAC: So will there be ninjas and/or pirates in this session?

Kevin: Ummm, no.  There are neither ninjas nor pirates in either of the sessions.  There should be eLearning developers and technical communicators because you just can’t beat the TechCom Suite for power and time-saving features! For the first time there is true single-sourcing!

RMAC: Kevin, you sure are excited about the Tech Com suite (considering there aren’t ninjas)…

Kevin: What is your obsession with ninjas?

RMAC: Ahhh, never mind.  We’ll ask the questions here.  Let’s make this the last one.  Are there any really cool tech gadgets that you just love?

Kevin: Shhhh… don’t tell anyone (especially the wife) but it will soon be a Segway. Why? Why not?

RMAC: Well, hopefully she doesn’t read this blog, or you are in trouble*.  Thanks for your time, Kevin.  We’ll see you at RMAC.

If you want to learn more about the Tech Com Suite, and cool new things in Captivate 4 (and perhaps ninjas and pirates) then you should go sign up for RMAC right now.  Now?  Yes now!  Then you too can hang out with:
