Why should you attend?

Finding the time to write your organization’s technical reports, procedures, instructional guides, project updates, and even email can be a challenge. Getting employees to actually read and pay attention to them is even more of one. In addition, any technical document bearing your organization's name must be absolutely error-free. Even a careless mistake in an email can damage an employee’s reputation and can make an entire workgroup look bad. The secret to a technical writer’s success is segmenting the prewriting, writing, and rewriting phases to produce shorter, clearer, more meaningful documents.
