Colleagues,

 

Based on the robust response from the BITS list, I have worked with Adobe to schedule a presentation focused on Acrobat 8.0 Professional and Acrobat Connect Professional.  Please see the description of the session below provided by Adobe.

 

Introducing Acrobat 8.0 Professional and Acrobat Connect Professional

Join us for an informative and interactive session to learn the capabilities of the recently announced Acrobat 8.0 Professional and Acrobat Connect Professional, and how you can leverage these tools for live presentations, efficient data collection, distance learning, and real-time collaboration. Find out how educators are putting Acrobat Connect Professional to work alongside their existing teaching environments, and just how easy it is to bring the collaborative power of Acrobat 8.0 Professional to learning, research and administrative document workflows.

Colleagues,

 

I am forwarding the attached e-mail to determine the level of interest in hosting a session with Adobe focused on Acrobat 8.0.  Please respond with your interest in scheduling such an event and with any feedback you may have from last year’;s event.

Hello David,

 

I have not yet had the opportunity to meet you since you replaced Bob Callaway last year. ; I am the Adobe Education Account Manager responsible for Northern California and specifically the UC Berkeley campus.  I wanted to talk with you about replicating a very successful event that Bob and I did on campus in the summer of 2005. ; Adobe came to campus to give a one hour presentation on Adobe Acrobat 7.0, and the seminar was attended by about 50 people from various departments all over the campus. 

 

Adobe just shipped a new version of Adobe Acrobat 8.0 last week, and I suspect there are very few people on your campus who are aware of this or who have seen the new features in the product.  We are also about to ship a new version of Adobe Breeze, which has been renamed Adobe Acrobat Connect Pro. 

 

The person who came with me to campus to do the presentation last year was Ali Hanyaloglu, Education product evangelist.  He will be in town from the east coast doing an Acrobat 8.0 seminar tour in San Francisco on Nov. 30^th.  I was wondering if we might be able to schedule a campus presentation that you could help coordinate on November 29^th.  I think the use of Acrobat throughout the Berkeley campus is extremely high, and I am guessing the session would be very well attended.  Last time we did the session in 80 Barrows Hall, which was a bit crowded, but we made it work. ; The best venue would be a room with theatre style chairs, no tables necessary.  We would need access to a projector and internet.  We could also in the same session (which could be a 90 minute session) show the Adobe Breeze technology. 

 

Would you like us to come to campus and give an information session on Acrobat to the UC Berkeley campus community on November 29^th?  If so, what time of day would be best, and can you secure a room, a projector and internet access for us on campus?

 

Thank you and I look forward to meeting you soon.

 

Best regards,

 

Karen Dailey
