Testimonials

  • I liked Pariah’s intro of himself: “I like to help people.” Distilled to the very essence of his purpose in life.
    —Jan, J.L. Carpenter Design
  • I like the open conversation with other attendees. I liked that a wide breadth of content was covered…I gained a better understanding and more ammunition on how to explain that creating ePublications, both interactive and for eReaders, isn’t just a magic click of a button like management seems to think.
    —Paul, St. Mary’s Press
  • [I learned] rich-media ecatalog [design].
