TCUK Heads North!

After three very successful years at venues in the Midlands and the South-East of England, the Technical Communication UK conference (TCUK) is heading North for 2012. "We're delighted to announce that TCUK 2012 will be at the Marriot Gosforth Park Hotel in Newcastle, from 2nd to 4th October 2012," David Farbey, Chair of TCUK 2012, said today. "This is an impressive venue with excellent conference facilities," said David. "Choosing a venue in the North of England emphasises our commitment to serve the technical communication community throughout the UK. We're looking forward to a really great event next October."
