STC Annual Conference
The Technical Communication Summit, STC's 54th Annual
Conference will be held May 13 through 16, 2007 in
Minneapolis, Minnesota.
If you are planning to attend the 2007 Annual Conference and
would like to participate in a progression sponsored by the
Online SIG, please send the information listed below to
rachelh@rhoughton.com. I will submit the proposal (deadline
September 1), check periodically with the presenters, and
facilitate the progression at the conference.
In a progression, 8 to 12 speakers each deliver an oral
presentation (5 to 10 minutes) at a roundtable, to a group
of 6 to 10 participants. Each speaker then moderates a short
discussion with the participants for 15 to 20 minutes. Then
the participants change tables to hear a different
presentation. Each presentation is made 3 times, each time
with a different group of roundtable participants.
Participating in a progression offers a good opportunity to
present tips and short topics, and share ideas. If you would
like to present at the progression please send the following
information to rachelh@rhoughton.com by July 31.
(1) Your proposed topic: title and a few sentences to
describe your presentation, with the key points you will
cover.
(2) Your name
(3) Your employer
(4) Your surface mail address
(5) Your phone number(s)
(6) Your email address
(7) The year(s) and topic(s) of any presentation you have
made at a previous STC Annual Conference, or other
presentations you have made (year, topic,
conference)
(8) Anticipated audiovisual requirements
(9) Any sample handouts or discussion questions
(10) A short bio
If you have questions, please send a message at any time.
Your proposal is welcome even if you are not completely
certain you can attend the 2007 Annual Conference, but if
you're not sure, please indicate that. I hope you will
participate. Thank you. |
