Topics
Level up your Technical Communication!
Do we have more than PDF manuals? What about digital delivery of product information? And isn’t everything digital already?
There is an evolutionary process going on in our technical communication world in two aspects: Tools and mindset.
On the tools side, we’re on our way from typewriter and glue via the DTP era to exposing technical product information content on different digital customer touch points.
This tool side reflects a significant mindset change from tech-heavy content to more user-focused and product-specific content.
Let’s share our knowledge on what we have learned on the way and get inspired for our own journey.
We are looking for presentations on the following topics:
- Legal Requirements and Standards
- Education and Career Development
- Intelligent Content Creation and Delivery
- Localization
- User Assistance
- User Experience
- Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machines and Robots
Presentation Formats
You can choose between these formats:
- Presentation, 40 min (conveys information, lecture with subsequent discussion)
- Partner presentation, 40 min (conveys information, presentation of a case study or real practice. Manufacturers and service providers: The starting point is the situation at the manufacturer's site)
- Tutorial, 60 min (for learning purposes, practical demonstration of an application or method)
