Wow, has it been five years already? We’re so pleased to announce the fifth annual PePcon: The Print + ePublishing Conference®, coming to Chicago, June 15-18, 2014!

PePcon is the world’s greatest event for InDesign users — bringing together users, trainers, experts, developers, and members of the Adobe InDesign team for four days of in-depth sessions on best practices for print and digital publishing. With over 20 internationally known speakers presenting more than 30 talks and tutorials, PePcon offers a unique experience for professional designers, publishers, creative developers, and graphics specialists.

Topics at the 2014 PePcon will include

• EPUB (flowable and fixed layout)
• print and interactive PDF
• Building iOS and Android apps with DPS and other top solutions
• Exporting HTML5 Web Apps from InDesign
• Working with iBooksAuthor and other rich eBook tools
• CSS and HTML5 for designers
• 20 scripts and add-ons that every publisher needs

We’re working on the final schedule; check out the 2013 sessions for a good sense of what PePcon 2014 will offer.

The Community

PePcon is not just great content, but it’s also about building a great community! So we are committed to bringing together users, experts, and developers like Adobe to build the world’s greatest community of print and digital publishers. All PePcon attendees get exclusive access to the conference networking site, and we provide plenty of networking and information-sharing opportunities at the event.

Previous attendees have repeatedly said that one of the best things about PePcon is the unparalleled access to talk one-on-one with speakers, Adobe senior engineers and management, and other professionals working in similar fields.
