Location

To improve accessibility for attendees, the location for the seminar is the Hilton Garden Inn, just off Highway 401, central to K-W, Guelph, and a short drive from Toronto and London.

Fees

Because we are all time-challenged and cash-challenged, we are charging last year's fees for this year's seminar. This is to make the seminar available to as many technical writers as possible.

Fees are in Canadian funds and include course materials, lunch, and refreshments. You can elect to attend either one or both seminar days.

The fee structure is as follows:
