TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
At an STC conference I attended (which shall remain unspecified) I
attended one of the post-conference tutorials given by tech-writing
celebrities. It was intended to be a small group--instead, the conference
organizers overbooked it such that it became less a tutorial and more a
lecture (the tutorial-givers didn't really have any choice--there was no
good way to adapt the usually highly interactive presentation to a much
larger group of people than expected). The friend I attended with and I
were EXTREMELY disappointed, and you can judge the value I (or my company)
got for the $200 or so spent when I say that I cannot at this point even
remember what the presentation was about.
Just a caution to the organizers and the attendees!
