The STC’s annual conference happened earlier this month in Denver, Colorado, and some useful write-ups are starting to emerge for the technical communication community. The STC Summit is celebrating its 66th anniversary in 2019 and the event attracted 750 attendees to both the expo and the 100 educational sessions over two days. Conference tracks included: Content Design and Delivery; Tools and Technologies; Training Development and Delivery; Project Management, Leadership, and Career Development.
Here are some of the links so far, rounded up for our techcomm readers:
