About the hands-on sessions:
Have questions about InDesign? Make a list - this is a great opportunity to have them answered by someone who's used InDesign since Day One.

9am – noon: BEGINNING InDesign CS2
Hands-on training
Making the transition from QuarkXPress to InDesign? This session will help "translate" your Quark habits to InDesign. And you'll see how to maximize some of the great features that have made InDesign such a winner.

1pm – 4pm: ADVANCED InDesign CS2
Hands-on training
If you're already using InDesign, but want to learn some great tricks, this is the session for you. And see how you can go beyond print to create multimedia PDFs by adding movies and sounds in InDesign and exporting to PDF.
