Question

Training event choice

Hi,

   I am allowed to attend one training event this year. My choice is the Adobe Summit and DevLearn or the Online Learning Conference. Both offer Adobe Captivate training. The Online Learning conference even offers a 'certificate', but the session seem to be similar to those presented at the Adobe Summit. Any suggestions on what the difference is between the two events? Which one is better?

Thanks,

Peter

Maybe no one has an idea? I don't even know that 'online conference' you are talking about, I present at Adobe Learning Summit, not at DevLearn - but did in the past.  To me the biggest advantage of a life conference is not the content (felt level going down compared with 4 years ago), but the networking. If that is not important to you, maybe you'd better choose for the online conference. Certificates are something I don't believe in, did see so many 'experts with certificates' that didn't even know the basics of a tool. Show me your work, tell me how you are solving some problems and I'll be able to judge your expertise, not with certificates. Sorry for that cynical note.

Lieve, perhaps you could expound a bit on how the networking aspect is beneficial? I see possibly making a new friend or two, or possibly just putting faces with names where you may have interacted via LinkedIn or the forums here, but are you maybe thinking about networking from the aspect of employment? I see networking as a valuable sales tool, but if all the attendees are already employed, unless you have something to sell them I'm not really understanding the value.

Cheers... Rick
