Goa is renowned for many things: endless white beaches under a beaming sun, swaying green palms touching the blue of the sky, an indolent pace of life - socegado, its syncretic Lusitania-meets-India culture… And between October 25 and October 27, 2007, Goa will be known for something else: hosting the subcontinent's premier learning, sharing, and networking forum for Indian technical communication professionals - STC India's Annual Conference.

Over the last 8 years, STC India's annual conferences have celebrated the rich experiences of subcontinental technical communicators. And this year will be no different: as in the past, the annual conference will be a veritable treasure trove of knowledge-laced sessions and workshops that aim to educate and enrich. The conference also provides you with stellar opportunities to interface and network with fellow technical communicators.
