STC member meeting
"Best Practices for
b2b Marketing Writing"
Paul McKeon
of The Content Factor will be speaking about marketing
writing and how it is different in the
business-to-business arena. This is a great opportunity
for veteran Technical Communicators to learn how they
can adapt their content for other uses, and for writers
of all experience levels to become more familiar with
marketing writing in general.

STC member meeting- "Leveraging Software
Tools To Help You Ensure Content Quality".
Scott will discuss the weaknesses in our current
approaches to managing content and content creators and
make the case for: 1) the adoption of software tools
that can drastically outperform human counterparts; 2)
the adoption of controlled vocabularies to help make
content less ambiguous and to improve translation
accuracy (and make translation less expensive); and, 3)
documentation managers to use metrics to make informed,
professional business decisions.
