- Ashley Chiasson, Manager, Learning and Development, Traliant
The best thing about the Articulate User Conference was getting to engage with members of the community face-to-face and check out all the cool things that people were doing. In development, you can operate in a silo so it’s always nice to get inspiration from your peers and see how you can push tools beyond what you think are the limits. - Brooke Schepke, Chief Design Officer, Yukon Learning
The Articulate User Conference is such a great day of learning: learning best practices and case studies from others, learning about new and upcoming features on the horizon, learning about accessibility trends, meeting new friends and old, and so much more! - Samuel Apata, Senior E-Learning Developer, Starbucks
My experience at the Articulate User Conference has been transformational. Getting a chance to collaborate and share ideas with members of the E-Learning Heroes Community was truly amazing! I always enjoy meeting my online friends and learning about what’s on the roadmap for Articulate. - Zsolt Olah, Sr. Learning Technologist, Amazon
