Sarah, every time I read your notes about a conference I'm not only grateful
but feel that I've saved money on travel and fees.
I've now not only benefited from STC Summit content, but have additions to my
To Be Read list.
Thanks,
Nick

Subject: atw: Report from STC Summit 2019
Hallo tech writers
I was privileged to attend the STC Summit this week - the annual conference of
the US-based Society for Technical Communication. It was a large event (730
attendees, with 100+ educational sessions over 2 days) and a wonderful
experience. I've written notes on each of the sessions I attended and some
impressions of the city of Denver, CO, where the event took place.
This wrapup post has photos and links to my notes for each session:

For ease of reference, here's a copy of the list of links to my notes from each
session that I attended (list also contained in the above wrapup post):
