Upcoming PixPublisher Workshops

In March we will start offering live webinars/workshops so that you can learn how to take your photo books to the next level. We will have:

  • Introductory webinars that cover basic workflow and show you how to get started with PixPublisher.
  • Intermediate level webinars that cover more advanced features and assume attendees already know the basics.
  • Free-form webinars at varying levels of expertise which are like extended Question and Answer sections where users can ask questions and be shown the answers in real time.
  • Workshops tailored towards certain types of photo books and focusing on techniques unique to that type of book. E.g. Wedding Books, Portfolios, etc.

The question I have for all of you is:

#1 When is a convenient time to attend a webinar/workshop?

  • Business hours during the day? e.g. 1pm Pacific/4pm Eastern
  • Early weekday evenings ? e.g. 6pm Pacific/9pm Eastern
  • Weekends? e.g. Mid-day on Sunday 1pm Pacific/4pm Eastern
  • Some other time altogether?

P.S. Duration of the webinars is targeted to be roughly 1 hour.

#2 What sorts of webinars would you like to see?

  • This is helpful for us to gauge interest and set our schedule accordingly.

Please respond with comments to this thread. Thanks!

I am definitely interested in the webinars.  Interested in Wedding Books, Senior Portfolios and anything else.  Business Hours or Evening Hours are the times I would like to tune in.

PixPub workshops/webinars would be great.  Before noticing this thread,  I asked at the store if there are any...they said no.  I see you are offering basic only (?)  When will you offer intermediate?  I am interested in wedding books.  I think I've mastered the basics on my own.  I am getting ready to complete my first book.  I would like to learn some special finishing touches and effects.  evenings or Sunday would be best (I often work on Sat. although not always).

I am also interested in learning more "Tips & Tricks" like the post on "Dealing with gaps between photos."

Thanks for your comments Ellen. There will be an intermediate workshop being offered next month. The content is still being finalized, so if there are any particular techniques you would be interested in seeing, please let me know.

Thanks.

I'm happy to give it a try. You'll note that this month on Sunday September 18th there is an intermediate level workshop scheduled for 9pm EST. If the attendance is good, we'll have more evening workshops in the future.

Hi Jamie. Yes we will be offering more evening classes. We just weren't able to fit it into this month with the combination of the holiday and the Photo Plus Expo. There will absolutely be more evening classes in November.
