Technical Communication UK is the new annual conference that aims to meet the needs of technical communicators, their managers and clients, from every corner of the industry.
The 2009 Conference has recently finished and the team at the ISTC are beginning the planning for 2010. The pages on this site will change in the coming weeks and months as more details are confirmed. Soon, you will be also able to find presentation slides, videos, photos and post conference reports either directly on the site, or through links to the Nomadesk shared resources service.
For now, here are a few of the reviews that have been posted by delegates via Twitter:
"Home from #tcuk09. Feel like I've found the lost tribe of my ancestors. Roll on #tcuk10!"
"Thanks to everyone for a brilliant, engaging conference :)"
"I want to thank everyone who attended #tcuk09 and for their hospitality. What a great group!"
"Bravo to everyone at #tcuk09, delegates, speakers, organisers, sponsors and the hotel. All round greatness. Bravo, roll on Oxford in 2010"
"#tcuk09 highlights for me: @anghelides, Mickelover Court hotel staff, @rjacquez, how www.withouthotair.com was written, the great team effort."
And here are some of the comments from those using good-old traditional email:
"A late, but sincere thank you to everyone who contributed to organising the TCUK Conference. The high quality of presentations, the opportunities to meet other attendees and the professional but friendly organisation made this conference exceptional for me."
"...The TCUK09 Conference was fantastic - over 150 delegates and the quality of the presentations was very high... The new organising team have done a great job with the re-branding, marketing and just about everything they can to up the game and really put it on the map.
There were a number of very inspiring presentations - to sum it up in a few words; it's all about social networks, the community and joining the conversation. I'm looking forward to TCUK10."
And here are some links to blogs that have included some reviews (these will open in a new window):
