Right after the DPK12 I had some days to organize my normal life. Only several days later, I travelled to Düsseldorf where the IDUG Rhein/Ruhr gave the kick-off to the CS6 IDUG DE-Tour.

I travelled to most of the German chapters of the InDesign User groups and supported them to present the brand new Creative Suite 6 and Creative Cloud. Along with Ingo Eichel and Markus Jasker from Adobe the chapter representatives and I presented the new features of the applications in CS6.

1. My first stop was at the FH Düsseldorf where over 90 people attended to the event and we had a great start with IDUG-RR.

2. In Cologne we had over 100 people listening to us in the Betahaus Cologne and the nice after-party for our chapter rep Tim Gouder who had his birthday the next day.

3. My third stop was in Berlin where we had two separate meetings: one in the afternoon and one in the evening. Counting them together we had more than 110 people attending and the feedback was great! The days after, I stayed in Berlin and had some great days there, meeting some really cool people!

4. The following Monday I arrived at Frankfurt/Offenbach where the next meeting was held. The IDUG Rhein/Main held the meeting at the "Weinstube" (wine-bar) with a great atmosphere. Also more than 60 people were sitting in the small rooms and listened carefully to the news of the Creative Suite 6.

5. Now I skipped the meeting in Stuttgart where Orhan Tançgil replaced my part and the meeting in Zurich/Bern (Switzerland) where Haeme Ulrich and Michel Mayerle showed the news. Instead, I had two days spare before our meeting in Munich was held on thursday. Our special guest besides Ingo Eichel from Adobe was Klaas Posselt from the IDUG Berlin. We had over 110 people in our room at [tgm]() and got very positive feedback from the crowd! Also we had free beer after the show because we had something to party: IDUG Munich had its 4th birthday on this meeting! That means the IDUGM exists already for four exciting years!

6. Finally I arrived at Hamburg together with Klaas the next day and we had one of the worst hotel experience. 125€ per night (and person) for a chamber which had no wifi, no TV and very bad service. Nevertheless we had a wonderful IDUG meeting in Hamburg and showed some more news about Creative Cloud and CS6. To finish the last wonderful weeks we had a great dinner and a great night!

For those who didn't attend to one of the meetings I will also say what I talked about at the meetings: I showed off the features of Adobe Photoshop CS6, Dreamweaver CS6, Adobe Edge and Adobe Digital Publishing Suite 2.0!

Now I will need some time to recover and doing the "normal" working stuff. Some nice projects are waiting for me and I am looking forward to the next weeks of summer! :)
