Warren,
"You're so pathetic that you have to hire hecklers. Ha Ha Ha!"
Will that do for a start?
I will work on a few good lines by the conference . See you there.
Note to self, leave a few tomatoes and eggs in the sun now so they are
really rancid for the conference.

I'll say. They even want me to present. Seriously scary.
I could do with a heckler or two btw. Any takers?

I strongly urge you to attend if you can. The program is awesome. You can

With only two weeks to go before one of the most significant communications
conferences ever held in Australia, time is running out to register for
PLAIN 2009.
This is a once-in-a-career opportunity to hear some of the world's best
plain language practitioners talk about improving clarity, reducing costs
and boosting customer satisfaction.
With 40 international speakers from a dozen countries, along with a strong
program of 40 Australian speakers, there will be something for everyone on
the program. Between the NSW Premier's opening address and the closing
address by former High Court judge Michael Kirby, PLAIN 2009 will present
over 40 sessions on topics such as:
Language and the global financial crisis
The new plain language laws
Case studies in finance, government, law and information technology
Writing text for translation
Practical workshops on forms, evaluation and document design
Developments in communications standards and accreditation
The relationship between plain language and other fields
The latest software for evaluating readability and usability
Plain language and literacy
Plain language and literature
Practical sessions on making the most of your software
We have updated the full program on the conference website at
http://www.plainenglishfoundation.com/tabid/3276/Default.aspx
At $495 for the two-day event on 16-17 October, the program represents
exceptional value for money for any professional with an interest in better
communications.
For those that do not have the time to attend a two-day event, there are
four half-day pre-conference seminars on Thursday 15 October. These present
some of the major international speakers in a more focused format in four
sectors: government, legal, corporate and finance, and health and community
services. Each seminar costs $295, but you can attend two for $500.
Already over 230 delegates have registered for PLAIN 2009, so there will
also be excellent opportunities for networking with other professionals in
your field. Final places are still available, but you will need to register
soon.
We hope to see you there.
Kind regards,
Neil
