Monique Semp, one of our STC NorthBay members, is one of many distinguished presenters at this conference. She is offering to give us a virtual preview of her 30 minute presentation!

Strategy First: Launching Successful Technical Communication Projects

You’ve decided to take the plunge and begin your new career as an independent consultant, but now what? You need a place to work! This session covers important topics such as location, computer hardware and software, furnishings (both immediate necessities and business/tax planning for future purchases), ergonomics, IT concerns (outlets, networks, backup methods, etc.), and building your reference library (both online and old-fashioned print books). You’ll receive checklists and references to help you create an office that you’ll not only want to spend time in, but that fosters productive (and lucrative) work.

This “preview” is scheduled for April 9, 2013, at 7pm. If you’d like to join us, please contact the STC NorthBay webmaster at <webmaster@stc-northbay.org> at least 24 hours in advance (Monday evening).

  1. I am interested in signing up, but cannot possibly see myself free to attend every presentations at the times published.

    Will these presentations be recorded for later viewing by those who have signed up?

  2. I’m not sure; I’ll look into it and if I receive an answer, I’ll post it.

  3. I checked with the conference organizer, and she replied that the sessions will be recorded, and will be available to paid attendees who cannot attend.
