Adobe Illustrator is like a Swiss Army knife: Everyone uses a few of the tools, but there are many more that go unused. The Vector™ conference is your chance to learn what all the tools do and how best to use them for great effects. The more you learn about Illustrator; the more amazed you will be.

The Creative Suite Conference is the premiere event for designers using Adobe Creative Suite. World-renowned experts will deliver in-depth sessions covering print-based, web, and mobile workflows, as well as XML and cross-media solutions. Whether you’re looking to create reliable PDF documents or deliver interactive Flash or AJAX enabled websites, this is the place to be.
Described as a vector-based drawing program, Illustrator uses mathematical outlines (called Bezier curves) to define paths and shapes. Unlike Photoshop, which works with individual pixels, Illustrator is object based, meaning that you work with things such as shapes, lines, and text objects instead of a bunch of little dots. Don't get the idea that Illustrator is a kids' drawing program, though - nothing could be further from the truth. Illustrator has the capability to create art that is so photo-realistic, you'd think it was created in Photoshop!
