Session Overview

Work smarter, not harder! If you are new to Adobe InDesign, or if you’ve been working with it but could use a refresher, this training session is for you. Our instructor, Noel Mayeske, is a former Marketing Manager and Graphic Designer, so he can show you how to create and edit proposals, brochures and graphics that look good to you and your clients. This hands-on, in-person training session is specific to marketers in the AEC industry. Coffee and a light breakfast will be included.

Each participant is asked to bring their own fully charged laptop with Adobe InDesign installed. Sample InDesign files will be provided for download prior to the workshop. Registration includes coffee, soft drinks, water and a light breakfast.

If there is a particular issue or topic that you would like the trainer to cover, please provide it at registration.

Lunch (separate registration) will be an opportunity to ask the speaker more detailed questions about the software in a casual, conversational format. Noel can also provide feedback on ways to use InDesign to improve client submissions. Individual boxed lunches will be provided. Click here to register for lunch occurring right AFTER this Beginner Session.
