Of Interest: STC TechComm Unconference!

Calling all technical communicators: Join us for our first-ever Tech Comm Unconference!

The STC Chicago Chapter, in collaboration with the STC Rochester and STC Carolina Chapters and the STC Technical Editing SIG, will be hosting a collaborative space for technical communicators to come together and discuss relevant topics, including projects, questions, difficulties and more. You bring the topic and we provide the space for the discussion.

How It Works: Attendees can bring their own topics and lead discussions in our hosted breakout rooms, or they can join someone else’s topic that they find interesting. Just as at an in-person event, attendees can move freely between different breakout sessions.

Don’t miss this great opportunity to discuss new topics and ideas with colleagues in an open and inviting virtual environment!

To register, go to https://www.stc-chicago.com/tech-comm-unconference/.

February 29, 2024 at 12:00-2:00 p.m. CST (for your local time, click here)

Newbies’ Corner: Monthly TESIG Student Chats

One of the goals of the TESIG is to help technical editing students get more involved in the field. We want to hear some new, fresh voices, especially from those who are studying the subject or just starting out.  It’s important to us to discuss the needs, dreams, and issues of the next generation of technical editing practitioners.

With this goal in mind, we are excited to announce the TESIG Monthly Student Chat series!

These 30-minute virtual chats will be held over Zoom on the last Wednesday of each month, and are a forum for current TESIG student members to discuss editing challenges, as well as share helpful resources, editing tactics and tips, and career advice about finding internships/jobs.

For details, please contact student_outreach@stc-techedit.org.
