Danielle M. Villegas‘s insight:

This is the third post of my series for the STC Notebook about the upcoming 2013 STC Summit.

Just as a ETA, I was told after the article was published that one of the benefits included in the Summit is that a disk with all the lecture slides and audio recordings of the lectures are given to all the participants, so I won’t have to worry if two seminars I want to go to are given at the same time. Woo hoo! And yet, I’ll still have to decide which one to go to, and which one to retrieve from the disk later…

Enjoy this latest installment.

“A Fear Stalks Our Profession…”

The STC posted this on Facebook today (I was so busy today, that I don’t know if they posted it elsewhere), and I was struck by how focused it is in the message. Credit goes to Rick Lippincott who gave this presentation, and to the STC for posting it!

This Lightning Talk from the 2012 STC Summit in Chicago expresses exactly why I get so excited about technical communications. It’s an fantastic time to be a technical communicator! Enjoy!
