Technical Communication UK (TCUK), which takes place in Newcastle in October, is the UK’s annual festival of technical communication – it’s like a Glastonbury festival for technical communicators, but without the mud!
I’m delighted to announce that we have published a preview of sessions for TCUK 2012, and we have also opened online booking at our special early-bird prices.
We have done our best to keep our prices as low as possible, and we believe that TCUK continues to offer tremendous value. We offer a special 3-day inclusive package, which includes two nights’ accommodation at the conference hotel, at a price which is lower than what some organisations are charging for a two-day conference without accommodation. If you book before 30th June you can benefit from reduced “early-bird” prices.
As well as three days of workshops and presentations, TCUK is your opportunity to meet and network with other technical communicators from across the UK and many other countries. We have planned social activities including receptions and a Gala Dinner (where we present the ISTC’s annual technical communication awards). Last year delegates organised a number of popular conference fringe events, from late-night salsa dancing to early morning runs, and there are sure to be similar activities this year.
But the important thing to remember is that TCUK is a fantastic educational experience, giving you three days of concentrated learning. We have even prepared a draft letter to help you persuade your manager that attending TCUK is a learning opportunity that should not be missed.
I look forward to seeing you at TCUK!
