WHAT:
November 2008 Virtual Program Meeting -- Creating Your First Podcast

PHOENIX – October 23, 2008

This conference is about users. It is about the technical needs that are growing as structured documentation makes major inroads. By combining the ideas of both the technical sides of DITA and XML with the publishing needs of technical communicators that are met by Adobe systems, we feel that this conference provides 2 focused technical days followed by 2 focused publishing and communications days. Monday and Tuesday include technical presentations on DITA and XML, technologies that are storming the gates of technical communications.

Are your procedures unclear or nonexistent, is your online help difficult to navigate, or are your manuals unwieldy? If so, then your documentation is costing you money.

Documentation problems lead to inefficiency, noncompliance, and reduced productivity.

By taking our Developing Procedures, Policies and Documentation
workshop, you will learn how to

• define audience information needs and requirements
• design information that meets user needs
• develop information that is user-focused, accessible, and easy to update
