STC Annual Conference Call for Proposals

Submission deadline for proposals: 10:00 AM EDT, Wednesday, 28 September 2011

Submit Proposals for STC's Annual Conference

The Call for Proposals for STC's 59th Annual Conference Technical Communication Summit 2012—is now available.

The conference has been redesigned with a new name, new format, new energy. Changes include:

  • New Tracks (formerly Stems) for technical sessions
  • New formats for presentations offering practical knowledge members can use, such as the case study
  • "Conference within a conference" – a new idea for STC meetings

Be part of the change while moving your career forward!

Should you have questions about your proposal content or format, contact a Track Manager (contact information may be found in the call for proposals link). For general information or questions about the system, please contact Lloyd Tucker at , Director of Education and Membership, STC or by phone +1 (571) 366-1904.

  • Please read the Call for Proposals carefully.
  • Increase the likelihood of your proposal being accepted by presenting on one of the specific topics.

Have you always wanted to present at STC's annual conference but never taken the time to submit a proposal? Perhaps you were put off by the cost in time and money of filling out and mailing the proposal form. If so, you're out of excuses: STC's new online proposal process eliminates the hassle of making copies, dealing with the post office, and cramping your writing hand. Submitting conference proposals has never been easier.

Note the list of information you'll need to complete the form: You'll want to have this information on hand before you enter any data. Using your STC member number and password, you can automatically populate the name and address fields with information from STC's membership database. And when you're done with the form, a single click allows you to upload your presentation file to the STC server. Please note that your file must be submitted as a PDF; in case you don't have Adobe Acrobat, the proposal form provides a link to Adobe's free online conversion tool.

Presenting at STC's annual conference helps prepare you for presentations to clients and employers, and it raises your visibility within the profession. The new online form greatly simplifies the proposal process, but don't delay.
