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.

if you have some command of German our tekom conferences
(http://www.tekom.de) might be for you. Some 600 people will meet im Munich in
November.
The ISTC in GB has its own conferences. And in the year 2000 there will be
another Forum conference (http://www.tc-forum.org), this time in London.
BTW: I have got a very rare contributor here. During the last months my own
mailing list have gone up considerably consuming quite some time. If you are a
technical communicator or translator with some command of German send a
message
to info -at- twh -dot- nbg -dot- de or visit my Web site (see above).
Greetings from Germany,
Alexander
