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. Don't forget to claim your USD200 AODC discount!
