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.
We are looking for a person to lead a round table discussion on the Internet
and how technical communicators can use it in their jobs. This round table
will be held at the 1993 STC Region 2 Conference in Washington, DC on
October 23, 1993. Our original speaker is unable to attend the conference.
If you live in the DC metropolitan area or were planning to come to the
Region 2 conference and are an expert on the net, we'd love to hear from
you. Please call Peggy Yates, STC Washington DC Chapter President, at
(301) 340-5709 and summarize your qualifications and experience.
The round table discussion format is similar to the progression format used
at the STC annual conferences. Attendees sit at a table of their choice, where
a discussion leader talks about the chosen topic with the group. After 45
minutes, the attendees move to the next table of their choice for another
45 minute session. The discussion leaders stay at the same table, leading
the discussion for three different groups of attendees.
If you are interested, please respond to Peggy by October 1, 1993.
Thanks.
