ANNOUNCE: DocTrain East 2008: Last Call for Presenters
If you're interested in speaking at the upcoming
Documentation and Training East 208 Conference
(October 29-November 1, 2008 in Burlington, MA),
act now. The Call for Participation closes at midnite,
Friday, April 4, 2008.
We're looking for great presenters! And, we're especially
interested in hearing from technical communication and
training professionals who work in-the-trenches who are
interested in presenting case studies, lessons learned
and best practice sessions (60 minutes in length) that
address the conference theme -- Producing Quality
Content -- or that address the special focus area --
Software Documentation Projects. We're also looking
for instructors to teach hands-on half-day workshops
that help attendees master a new approach, standard,
methodology, or software tool set.
Do you practice what you preach?
While we're not looking for marketing presentations from
software and services vendors, we are interested in
presentations from those who work for software companies
and use their own software products at work.
Questions? Contact Scott Abel at scottabel -at- mac -dot- com
