ANN: The MadCap Roadshow Kickoff | Long Beach, CA

This year's first Roadshow is a special one, filled with training
sessions led by Mike Hamilton, product demos from the development
team, and peer showcases from industry experts, as well as a few
MadCap announcements you don't want to miss! Best of all it's
absolutely FREE.

In addition to free non-tool specific training by industry experts,
the Roadshow Kickoff also includes:

   * Product Giveaways
   * Catered Lunch
   * Door Prizes
   * Hosted Cocktail Reception

"The Roadshow was outstanding. I am still trying to figure out how
MadCap Software managed to strike the perfect balance of high-level
best practice information and low-level procedural information."

Amy Colannino, Molecular Devices, Inc. - 2010 Roadshow, Philadelphia
