About DocTrain East
*****************************
The theme of this year's event is Advancing Your Career. It's not
about building new-fangled resumes, nor is it about marketing yourself
to recruiters, building electronic portfolios, etc. Instead, it's
about developing a career path for yourself, one that supports who you
are, allows you to focus on you're naturally good at, and what you
enjoy. Far too many technical communicators fail to take advantage of
growth opportunities and find themselves stuck in dead-end jobs. But,
not for long.

Maybe you are a user advocate, or the person most concerned with the
design of the documents you create. Perhaps you are pushing your
organization toward the adoption of interactive documentation. Or
maybe you are an evangelist of content management, fancy yourself an
information architect, have special knowledge of localization issues,
or find yourself attracted to DITA and XML authoring.

Whatever your interest (or innate skill set), you'll find something of
interest at DocTrain East. Check out our complete roster of speakers,
the three days of half-day workshops (included at no extra charge in
the price of admission), and great keynote presentations.

Management Summit
*****************************
Managers! We didn't forget you. STC Associate Fellow Rahel Bailie
leads a 2 day series of educational events designed specifically for
managers. Access to the Management Summit is included in the cost of
registration (at no additional cost).
