Are you ready?
The worlds in which technical communicators work are fast reaching the
point where content is becoming unmanageable. IT groups are recognizing
that little is being solved by adding more disk space or setting up new
servers. The increasing rates at which new information is generated, consumed,
and then lost is becoming unsustainable. Technical communicators have
a role to play if they are prepared to step up to the challenge.
A number of factors are converging that promise to change the landscape
for good. The technology and tools are maturing. A set of best practices
is emerging that will enable us to effectively manage the increasing demands
on our resources. We are already seeing a swing in the adoption of structured
authoring in many tech pub environments. It won't be long before we're
adopting formalized content management solutions. We believe that content
management is about to "tip". Will you be ready?
This year's Toronto STC conference features a series of advanced, half-day
workshops in information design and content management lead by several
of our industry's revered luminaries from across North America. Join us
in Mississauga, Ontario for three days in March and see Ann Rockley, Jim
Purdy, Michael Priestley, Saul Carliner, and Scott Abel - The Content
Wrangler. We are also pleased to be working with the Content Management
Professionals to host the first ever Toronto Summit at the conference.
