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!
