STC offers a number of ways for technical communicators to further their education and expand their skill sets. One way is the STC annual conference and various regional conferences. Another is the telephone and Web-telephone seminar.

Plan Now for the 2004
Region 8 Conference

The 2004 Region 8 Conference will be held from July 25-27, 2004, at the University of California, Davis. Enjoy the collegiate atmosphere and over 300 of your fellow technical communicators as you learn about new technologies and trends in technical communication, hear fascinating keynote speakers, and shop at the Pavilion that features a trade show, career expo, and product demonstrations.

Early registration starts February 15, so plan ahead now! You can learn more about what we'll offer at the conference by visiting STC Region 8 Conference web site. We look forward to seeing you in July!

Take Advantage of New Web-Telephone Seminars

New to STC is the Web-telephone seminar, which is a telephone seminar with Web-based features. In a Web-telephone seminar, participants listen to the presenter over the phone while viewing presentation materials over the Web. For both telephone seminars and Web-telephone seminars, registrants are provided with an 800 number, and for the Web-telephone seminar, they also receive a secure URL and passwords to access both the audio and online elements of the presentation. In both formats, you sit back, listen and view the presentations, and join in the lively Q&A discussion that follows.
