STC Launches 51st Annual Conference 
Web Site

The following article was taken from the February 2004 issue of STC Tieline
The Society Leaders' Newsletter

The Web site for STC’s 51st Annual Conference is up and running. The site provides comprehensive, up-to-date information on educational and professional opportunities at the conference and includes a dynamic online registration form. When a member enters his or her five-digit member number, the name and address fields are automatically populated with information from the STC membership database. (Note: To register at the member rate, members must enter their membership number, which appears on the address labels of Intercom, Technical Communication, and all other correspondence from the Society office. Members who want to be reminded of their membership number should call the STC office at 703-522-4114.)

The conference Web site also includes a complete database of technical sessions that can be searched and sorted in many ways, including keyword, day/time, topic, and session stem. The session information includes brief descriptions of the sessions, locations and times, and the names of the moderators and speakers. As the conference draws near, this information will be updated frequently. Members are encouraged to visit the site often for the latest information.

As with STC’s main Web site, all pages are printer-friendly for the convenience of attendees in planning their schedules.
