Technical Communication Summit (STC2008)
What a busy four days it's been! Some highlights:
- At Leadership Day, I got to tell everyone about social networking :-) There's a ScribbleLive blog (thanks to the folks at ScribbleLive for featuring STC2008 on their home page!), which lets anyone with the code blog about the conference. Sarah O'Keefe started the #stc2008 tweme. And folks are twittering! (As Sarah said, it's perspective. Tom Johnson says it's low at 1%, Sarah's excited because there's any at all, and I'm thrilled that we've got so many!)
- The Annual Meeting was held last night and was relatively calm when compared to some of the previous years. Of course, there also wasn't a quorum, which meant that no voting could take place. But David Farbey was able to present his motion and there was discussion.
- The Trends Panel on Sunday night was great. I wonder if anyone grabbed the information? I loved when Andrea Ames said, "Think more, write less". (The problem now is that there's no way I can sufficiently recap it...I'd love to listen to it again.)
I haven't made it to any sessions yet...maybe later today, but I'm not sure because I still have a board meeting this morning and the panel that I'm moderating. Tomorrow is the Annual Forum and the closing session. And I still need to get by the exhibition again!

Next time, put a larger buffer of time between the beer blast and the annual meeting. ;)

Another Andrea comment from opening (all TW's raise your hand):
"Excuse Me. What you're designing will take a lot of words to explain. Can we please re-think it?"

dood, I wasn't in charge of scheduling ;-) And in addition to the reception (with free beer), someone organized a pub crawl at about the same time that had 50+ folks.
