Are you joining us for Mission: Possible next year in Cincinnati, Ohio, May 3-4? It's going to be another great Lectora® User Conference, full of networking opportunities, new eLearning development insights, and amazing speakers. The LUC is the place to hear the latest news about our products and get a sneak peek or two of new features we're working on. Plus, Cincinnati has amazing restaurants, fantastic museums and performance venues, and a lively nightlife.The hotel location we’ve chosen, the Hyatt Regency Cincinnati, is walking distance from Fountain Square, a central downtown hub of activities that range from free salsa dancing lessons on Thursday nights to Tuesday afternoon farmer’s markets and sports watching parties. Pack your dancing shoes for salsa!Speaking of dancing, a popular downtown Cincinnati activity is watching the Cincinnati Ballet perform at the Aronoff Center.

  • Cincinnati Ballet
  • Cincinnati Music Theatre
  • Cincinnati Playwrights Initiative
  • Contemporary Dance Theater
  • de la Dance Company
  • Exhale Dance Tribe

You can read the whole poem here.We have so much more to share about the LUC 2017 in Cincinnati with you all, including speaker announcements, pre-conference training information, favorite food trucks, and some uniquely Cincinnati traditions.
