If you use your Connect meeting room in conference rooms, auditoriums or venues where the sound system and microphones are professional grade it can often be a challenge to get the XLR standard audio connectors into your computer; unless you have a true desktop with a solid sound card, as laptops are usually all Firewire and USB.
Ryan Monger at Adobe just put this great article up at ConnectUsers.com on the X2u XLR-USB Signal Adapter for getting that great quality audio down from those XLR systems into the USB connection on your laptop without requiring a dedicated sound card.
Check out the article and all of the ConnectUsers.com website as it has tons of resources around Adobe Connect Pro.
Just wanted to make a quick mention of the Adobe Learning Summit that takes place in San Jose, CA on November 9th at the San Jose Fairmont Hotel. Welcome and opening comments by Shantanu Narayen, president and chief executive officer of Adobe Systems, Inc. is just the beginning.
As Adobe Acrobat Connect Pro is a huge part of Adobe’s elearning strategy this conference is a great opportunity to meet Adobe product team members, industry experts and peers using Adobe Acrobat Connect Pro and many other Adobe tools and solutions. There are a number of sessions around Connect Pro and how to get the most out of the solution. The opportunity to network and meet others using Connect Pro for communication, collaboration and eLearning is truly outstanding.

I just came across a relatively new resource for developers integrating Connect Pro with various systems via the XML Web Services that have been in Connect Pro for a long time. In response to a number of questions on connectusers.com about integration examples, this site was created to focus on providing clear examples of uses of the APIs. For anyone beginning to wrap their heads around these services, I would definitely recommend following the blog. You can reach it here: http://www.connectbyexample.com/blog/
