Memphis in March? A great alternative to AODC!
The AODC Conference was not run 2011. Instead, a number of Australian and New
Zealander technical communicators and Help authors joined an
expedition to the famous WritersUA Conference for Software User Assistance in
Long Beach in March. The same approach is planned for 2012.
AODC will not be run in 2012, but why not plan
on a trip to the WritersUA Conference in 2012? The event will be held in
Memphis, USA, from 11 to 14 March 2012.

The 2012 WritersUA Conference, now in its 20th year, will be held from 11th
to 14th of March at the Peabody Hotel in Memphis, Tennessee. We are
pleased to announce that WritersUA will be offering return AODC delegates a
USD200 discount off the normal registration fee. The high value of the Aussie
dollar means this represents extraordinary value. For as little as
USD895, you can benefit from three days of detailed, high quality sessions, with
over 60 sessions on offer spread over five streams. Note that this offer is only
open to people who have previously attended an AODC Conference at least once in
the last 14 years!
But wait, there's more! There's a comprehensive vendor exhibition, a peer
showcase of innovative and though-provoking case studies, and even a "launch
pad" programme for newcomers to the industry. Some sessions are hands-on
workshops in a computer lab environment, where you can be guided through the
effective use of different authoring tools. Find out why everyone raves about
the WritersUA Conference for User Assistance!
The WritersUA Conference Web
site has complete details of the venue, the programme, and the features.
