New in 2015 is a special one-day $99 pre-conference training event (full conference registration isn't required). The training day is designed to benefit both beginners desiring a hands-on introduction to FileMaker and intermediate users who want to get a head start on the fundamentals as a lead-in to the conference.

Experienced trainers from the FileMaker Business Alliance will deliver the curriculum, which includes four tracks: two for beginners and two for intermediate users. A copy of the FileMaker Training Series: Basics and Advanced materials is included with the training.

The conference will also feature the Exhibitor Showcase of FileMaker services and add-on products, and an opportunity to connect with FileMaker engineers, product managers and technical support team members. Highlights will include a young developers social, the annual Women of FileMaker luncheon and a special 20th anniversary attendee party. Exhibitor Showcase booths are available for $2,500, and exhibitor full passes are $995.
