Call for Posters

This year at the 54th Annual Conference of the Society for Technical
Communication in Minneapolis, MN, May 13–16, 2007, students will have the
chance to submit poster presentations.

Conference Theme

Share Your Wisdom, Knowledge and Experience
If you’ve done innovative work in communicating technical content,
managing a technical communication group, producing and publishing
content, researching content, or promoting the profession, we invite you
to submit a proposal to the Technical Communication Summit, the 54th
Annual Conference of the Society for Technical Communication.

Format

Poster format will be 3 feet by 5 feet.  Posters should follow standard
poster formats with easy to read columns, large print, and strategic and
interesting use of graphics.  You can obtain poster format templates from
a number of Internet locations, including http://www.postersession.com/.

You will, like all presenters, be responsible for producing your own
handouts.

Criteria and Number

The number of posters will be limited to 15 for this year.  Poster
proposals submitted will be reviewed by a panel of both academics and
practitioners and will be selected on the following criteria:

Clarity of:
•	Knowledge: What you learned and applied in service-learning projects and
real-world client projects tied to class work
•	Experiences : What you learned through internships and working as
technical communicators that you were able to reflect on as students
•	Research Results:  Knowledge that you created through usability, survey,
interview, and other class and education-related research
•	Best Practices: Activities associated with publications management,
content management, document design, usability testing, or user or
audience analysis that put your class experience to work in the real
world.
