Announcing the STC Technical Editing SIG Editors’ Exchange 2022 Mini-Conference!

The STC Technical Editing SIG is proud to announce its first official mini-conference – EdEx2022!

The goal of the STC Technical Editing SIG (TESIG) is to provide its members with high quality information about editing processes and best practices, as well as resources that demonstrate the value of editing and editors in an organization.

To meet this goal, we are launching the first of what we hope will be an annual event – a mini-conference dedicated to the field of technical editing and to technical editing practitioners.

EdEx2022 will be held on 15 November 2022 from 8:45 AM to 12:00 PM ET (for your local time, go to https://bit.ly/3ARVwEn).

We especially encourage students and new technical editing practitioners to join us!

To see details about the presentations and to purchase tickets for EdEx2022, go to https://www.eventbrite.com/e/stc-technical-editing-sig-editors-exchange-2022-mini-conference-tickets-372579063007.

The price of the tickets is for the entire mini-conference, and attendees can join at any time. All sessions will be recorded, and the recording and slides will be made available to attendees after the mini-conference.

To help you decide whether to spend the money to access all of the recordings, here are some of my recommendations, based on my favorite sessions. I hope you find these recommendations useful whether you are catching up on sessions you could not attend in June or attending the virtual Summit for the first time.
