are welcome.
Conference Theme
----------------
Our theme is "Riding the Wave!". As technological advances
allow us to deliver information faster and through more mediums
than ever before, and as the technologies we're writing about are
advancing more rapidly, we must still remain true to our basic
purpose of clear, effective communication that meets the needs of
our audiences. We must move forward on the crest of technology
while balancing on our experience and skills.
Presentation Topics
-------------------
You can give a presentation in any of four areas: The Basics,
Tools and Technology, Professional Growth, and People to People.
We're looking for presentations that address the new technologies
and new career possibilities with an eye toward maintaining our
core skills and delivering the right information to the right
audiences.
Presentation Formats
--------------------
You can give your presentation in one of several formats: an
individual talk, a panel discussion, a progression, or a
workshop.
Deadline for Entries

Send your entry to Angela Howard, Program Chair at the address
