We also have a two-in-one chapter meeting coming up this Thursday, 10/19, presented by our very own Immediate Past President, Debra Johnson! Please click here to RSVP.

 

Here’s a summary of the event in case you missed our email:

Using BrightTalk to Enhance Your Training

Schedule:
6:30 – 7:00 Networking and Dinner

Join us Oct 19, 2017 at 6:30 PM at IHOP as our Immediate Past President, Debra Johnson, walks us through a rich resource she uses to help her Tech Comm team learn new skills: BrightTalk.com and the BrightTalk app.

BrightTALK, a source of learning, is a place where people can hear directly from those who know the subject matter best. BrightTALK is SaaS company that specializes in hosting information via webinars and videos for professionals to share.

Then, as a group, we will sample one of the hundreds of Tech Comm webinars available on BrightTalk.com: The Content Wrangler Presents: Using Text, Images and Video in Technical Communication with Ferry Vermeulen (Managing Director, INSTRKTIV).

The Company you may want to work for is trying to give its audience the best product experience in the world.  As a technical writer, you want to contribute to that effort by creating awesome content for that product.  There are many great tools out there that can help you to achieve this. These tools include text editors, and graphic and video tools. But how do you decide when to use text, images, or video for your product assistance? Join us to hear a one-hour recorded presentation designed to help guide you make the best choices. Presented by Scott Abel, The Content Wrangler, and special guest presenter, Ferry Vermeulen of INSTRKTIV
