Summary of the WritersUA 2005 conference -- a report to local technical communication professionals in Research Triangle Park, NC, where Bill Albing (of KeyContent.org) lives and works.
This presentation is not just about the WritersUA 2005 conference but also about the Vision of our profession that I gained while attending. It was a good thing that this conference was in Las Vegas. There is so much visual stimulation in Las Vegas. What a great place for thinking about metaphors about technical communication and user assistance. Start with Map of Hotel; first exposure to tech comm in Las Vegas -- harder to get from front desk to room than from airport to hotel! A two-sided highlighted map to get from front desk to my room!
