      IPCC 97 Crossroads in Communication
 Advance Program and Registration Information
             October 22-25, 1997
           in Salt Lake City, Utah
   at Snowbird Conference Center and Resort
**********************************************



A Personal Invitation
=====================
IPCC 97 will be a linked conference with SIGDOC 97; we will have a day of
joint sessions where attendees can participate in sessions from either
conference.  Additionally, we're providing a substantial discount if you
want to attend both conferences.  (For more information about SIGDOC 97,
see http://www.acm.org/sigdoc/sigdoc97).

Both conferences feature a full program of papers, panel discussions,
demonstrations, case studies, and tutorials on these and other topics. In
addition, the conferences provide you an opportunity to network with other
professionals and to develop skills and share ideas relevant to your job.



A Quick Overview of SIGDOC
==========================
SIGDOC is a Special Interest Group for DOCumentation - a society of senior
communication professionals. Members are from all technical and scientific
disciplines, those who create documentation in the computing community and
those who use of computers to create documentation in many styles and
mediums.



A Quick Overview of IEEE PCS
============================
IEEE stands for the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers;
however, IEEE has grown to include multiple interests concerning the field
of engineering including computer programming as well as technical
communication. The Professional Communication Society (PCS) is one of the
special interest groups within the umbrella organization called IEEE.

IPCC (International Professional Communication Conference) is an exciting
forum where communicators and engineers talk to each other about technical
communication.



Conference Highlights
=====================
IPCC 97 offers strong program designed to appeal to technical communicators
and individuals who work with the design and delivery of technical
information, whether you're a practitioner, researcher, educator, or
student.  In addition to nearly 18 technical sessions and 35 presentations
to choose from, you can gain cutting-edge insights from numerous featured
speakers, including:

* Karen Schriver (keynote speaker), "New Literacies: New Challenges for
Communicators"
* a distinguished panel on Minimalism, including John Carroll, Ginny
Redish, Barbara Mirel, Stephanie Rosenbaum, Hans van der Miej, and JoAnn
Hackos
* Mary Deaton, "The Future of Help Design"
* John Brockmann, "Do New Computer Technologies Mean The Creation of New
Documentation Methodologies?"
* Jonathan Price, "Using Complexity Theory to Understand What's Happening
to Technical Communicators"
* Saul Carliner, general session on exploring the future of technical
communication
* Robert Krull, "Three Levels of Guidance in Technical Tutorials"
* Judith A. Ramey and David Farkas, "A Model for Organizational Web
Development"
* William M. Gribbons, "Designing for the Global Community"
* Bernadette Longo, "Who Makes Engineering Knowledge?:  Changing Identities
of Technical Writers in the 20th Century United States"
