Welcome to STCSGV

The San Gabriel Valley (SGV) Chapter of the Society for Technical Communication (STC) is an interactive organization where members and their guests can learn about the full spectrum of the art, technique, and business of technical communication.

The professional, trade, and technical skills of members cover a wide range of experience and disciplines. About half of the members are self-employed as consultants; the other half are permanent employees.

Our monthly chapter meetings are open to the public. These meetings are generally held on the fourth Monday of each month.

This month we meet at Edwards Steakhouse on Flair Drive in El Monte.

Members are encouraged to attend the meetings and share their vision of the chapter's goals and activities.

Our Next Meeting:

Monday, June 22, 2009 at 6:00pm

Twitter: Who Cares What You're Doing Right Now, Anyway?

Speaker: Scott Abel

User-generated documentation. Technical communicators often cringe when they hear the phrase. After all, how can we trust end-users to create documentation? They don't have the knowledge, experience, nor the tools to do the job. Or do they?

Twitter. It's everywhere. Newscasters mention it. Political analysts point to its influence. Marketers use it to get messages out. Journalists and bloggers use it for research. Regular folks use it to keep up with their friends, family, and co-workers. And, people of all types use it for entertainment, research, and education. But, Twitter is more than all of these things combined. It's a revolution in content publishing and it's changing forever -- or at least for now -- how we communicate what's important to us to those who want to know.

But wait: There's more!

Don't miss our June meeting!
