Writing for a Global Audience—Best Practices and Case Studies |
 |
Notice! Location Elephant & Castle |
Wednesday, July 16 , 2008 When writing for a global audience, technical communicators can
impact both the quality of the customer experience and the eventual
cost of localization. Tim Bombosch of Lasselle-Ramsay Information
Development Services will share best practices and results from
actual projects. Topics for discussion include determining what
content to deliver to your global audience, writing best practices,
techniques for lowering localization costs, and metrics for measuring
success. Tim speaks extensively about project management, technical communications, and Web 2.0. Before joining Lasselle-Ramsay, he worked at Mindjet Corp, Sygate Technologies, IBM, WebMD, and Kaiser Permanente. Tim is an active leader in the STC, having served as president and program manager of STC-SF and as secretary of the Management SIG. He is also an active member of the Project Management Institute. Before entering his current profession, he taught literature, philosophy, and media studies at Stanford University, where he received his PhD in German Studies. | |

The other listserv is for non-members of our chapter who are interested in receiving our announcements. To subscribe, send an email to: majordomo@lists.tdl.com.
