From the Society Office:
The Web site for STC's 50th Annual Conference is up and running. In addition to providing comprehensive, up-to-date information on educational and professional opportunities at the conference, the site features a dynamic online registration form that simplifies the registration process for members. When a member enters his or her five-digit member number, the name and address fields are automatically populated with information from the STC membership database. (Note: To register at the member rate, members must enter their membership number, which appears on the address labels of Intercom, Technical Communication, and all other correspondence from the Society office. Members who need to be reminded of their membership numbers should call the office at 703-522-4114.)
Another new feature of the conference Web site allows visitors to view all of the technical sessions scheduled for a particular day. The session information appears in a printer-friendly format and includes brief descriptions of the sessions, their locations and times, and the names of moderators and speakers. As the conference draws near, this information will be updated frequently with cancellations and room changes. Members are encouraged to visit the site often for the latest information.
STC’s 50th Annual Conference, to be held May 18-21 in Dallas, Texas, marks an important milestone in Society history. For a half-century, STC has been promoting the arts and sciences of technical communication. In February, STC will launch a Web site devoted to Society history at www.stc.org/stc@50. The site will feature a timeline of important dates in technical communication, juxtaposed with a chronology of developments in science and technology. Visitors will also be able to contribute to a Web log that records memories and reminiscences of their experiences as STC members.
