Presented by David Zimmer
As project managers, we spend 90% of our time communicating: writing, talking, presenting or reporting to our stakeholders. One of the most influential forms of communicating with our audiences is in a public setting, whether it be a formal presentation, meeting, a gathering of people around the coffee machine or wherever more than two people congregate. Public speaking done well enhances our credibility, leadership, influence and reputation. Public speaking done poorly puts us back in the pack of the other average people.
David has learned over the years that simple tips and tricks used by some of the best speakers work for him, whether he was with an informal group of colleagues, in tense meetings with stakeholders, or as a keynote presenter at large industry conferences or as the invited speaker for the CIO briefings of executives from the leading companies in Australia.
In this session, David helps you understand critical aspects of public speaking and provides his secret tips and tricks making you a more influential speaker.

UXPA2019 Forging Alliances with Project Management: A PM’s View of UXUXPA International
It is critical for Design and Project Management to be true collaborators in getting things done. This session aims to help UX practitioners advance their careers and be more successful in collaborating with individuals with different motivations and mindsets, and who often speak a different language. The session shares insights on Project Management and offers ways that the UX profession can help business understand the strategic value of Design within the enterprise.
The majority of the world’s enterprises still operate projects in a “traditional” sense. Project Managers are eager to learn more about Design (e.g. managing innovation), but frequently harbor trepidation or misunderstanding of UX and are unsure how to incorporate Design on their projects.
Join this session to learn how the strategic partnership between Design and Project Management can evangelize UX as a force for change and innovation and help PMs operate in a more flexible, discovery-driven world.

Modern HR, Communication, & Leadership Best Practices With Microsoft 365Richard Harbridge
Today Intranets are about more than just getting key corporate messaging out. Communications have changed just as IT and HR have changed. Communications leaders have shifted from editors to enablers. Communication leaders are moving from enforcing messaging to empowering and amplifying excellent communications and great ideas throughout the business. Human Resources leaders are shifting from hiring/firing and policy enforcement to performance and engagement. From preboarding to offboarding, HR's challenges are harder today than they have ever been before. Naturally, how these leaders leverage the digital workplace has changed, especially in how they leverage technology to achieve more with less. Join Richard Harbridge, a Microsoft MVP and internationally recognized expert on Microsoft 365 and the Digital Workplace, as he explores ideas and solutions that HR and Corporate Communications have embraced to improve how, where, and when they engage with employees. We will discuss how to best leverage SharePoint, Microsoft Teams, and Yammer for modern communications and take advantage of AI and Microsoft technology to accelerate and improve key communication and content. The technology, best practices, and approach can make all the difference, and it has, for some organizations, led to more significant HR, Intranet, and communications success.

By now, you have heard how important structured content is. But, maybe you poked around with something like DITA and were baffled by the complexity. Or, maybe you still aren’t sure what XSLT stands for. This workshop will take participants back to the basics, to provide a foundation for higher-level concepts that have taken hold of our industry. Topics will include:
- What XML looks like, what it does, and how to create it.
- How to define a structure model, including whether to use a - DTD, Schema, etc.
- What XSLT looks like, what it does, and how to make it work.

The prevalence of virtual-based teams have increased significantly within recent decades as a result of expanding corporate globalization. This rapid growth has exacerbated communication issues within the global virtual team setting. Issues related to poor work-life balance due to variance in work time zones, poor dissemination of team decisions and discussions, and insufficient use of collaborative tools, are common issues within the global diverse virtual team. Challenges exist even in virtual teams that are based in a single region, as differences in functional backgrounds and departmental cultures create challenges which are difficult to address within their virtual setting. Although interdependent constructs appear to be straight-forward and clear, the challenges teams face in accomplishing a shared goal is complex. Research in the area of team dynamics has provided support and guidance on improving interpersonal relationships, communications, and planning; thereby, enhancing team efficiencies. This presentation will review emotional intelligence (EI) and how it relates to the current team efficacy research. The related attributes and challenges at the individual, team, leadership, and organizational level will be reviewed with a focus on enabling the virtual-based team to succeed.
With over 16 years of experience as a virtual team member, Christine Loch brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to the science of team dynamics. She is currently completing her PhD in organizational leadership at Northeastern University, Boston MA, with a research focus on team dynamics in the virtual-setting. As a past presenter at the national Drug Information Association Conference, and several times a presenter at the national Oncology Nursing Society Congress, Christine brings an engaging presence on this captivating topic, which will leave the audience with at least one new pearl of wisdom to try out on their own virtual-based teams at home.
The past decade has seen seismic shifts in how we create and consume content. Think Company’s Principal and Senior Experience Designer David Dylan Thomas illuminates 7 key aspects of those shifts and how they enable previously under-served voices to be heard. We’ll learn how emerging business models make it both more AND less problematic for content creators to make a living. We’ll learn which stories can be told that could never be told before and how mass participation births new art forms. Examples from the worlds of film, television, music, social, transmedia, and areas we don’t really have a word for yet will help content creators, strategists, and those who build platforms for them understand how to prepare for and profit from the future. We’ll also discuss the following questions: How has the lowered cost of technology been good and bad for creators? How can new business models completely change the game for diversity in content creation? Why do you need to learn everything you can right now about participatory culture?
David Dylan Thomas has developed digital strategies for major clients in entertainment, healthcare, publishing, finance, and retail. A senior experience designer at Think Company, he serves as programmer for Content Strategy Philly, founder of Content Camp, a content strategy instructor at Girl Develop It, and previously consulted at the Corzo Center for the Creative Economy. He is the creator, director, and co-producer of Developing Philly, a web series about the rise of the Philadelphia tech community. He is the creator and host of the Cognitive Bias Podcast and has given standing-room-only presentations at TEDNYC, SXSW Interactive, and the Wharton Web Conference on content strategy and emerging content trends.

Presentation Description
How do you create marketing materials for technical products or services while considering the normal technical communications mantra to avoid the soft, flashy advertising approach? If you work in a job where the marketing team and the technical communicators are often at odds or where most marketing materials are viewed as "not intended for technical audiences," then join us to talk about how the "Technical Communicator and Marketer Can Be Friends," or in some cases, how one person can take on both communication roles. We will discuss cases scenarios and your questions about how technical information can be wrapped in "marketing packages" such business case documents, sales materials, newsletters, and websites. We will also discuss how to write technical marketing pieces that don't scare technical audiences.
Promoting products and services through content marketing has been a growing trend for the past five years. Content marketing is also a great method for sharing your company’s mission and goals. In this session, you’ll learn what content marketing is, how it is useful in communicating your story, the types of marketing methods for sharing your story (such as blog posts, white papers, case studies, social media, and many more), and how to identify your target audiences, and tips for creating a content marketing plan.
Presented by Cheryl Landes
Are you still writing manuals and online help? Are you looking for new ways to add value to both your content and your career? Join Adriane Hunt as she reveals insights on the changing role of the Information Engineer and explores career avenues and options that may surprise you.
So your company has decided to take its documentation mobile. Great!
But just saying “go mobile” is too vague. Is it an app? Responsively designed online help? A mobilized web site? Something else? What effect might going mobile have on your documentation efforts? That’s the subject of this presentation.
We’ll first look at various definitions of “mobile” including apps, responsive design, mobilized web sites, and more – their pros and cons, and tools you can use to create them. We’ll then look at how you might have to change your documentation practices in order to move to mobile, such as requiring greater syntactical rigor, eliminating local formatting, using relative fonts and media queries to create resizable tables and content, and more.
You’ll leave this presentation with a solid understanding of options for going mobile and how your work may have to change to stay on the cutting edge of technical communication.
GitHub is a web-based repository for software projects that uses Git as a repository. GitHub is reportedly the world’s largest open source community, hosting over 35 million repositories that include both code and the documentation for that code. In addition to the public version of GitHub, companies can adopt GitHub Enterprise internal use, so it is gaining popularity for private repositories as well.
Docs aren’t siloed in GitHub — they live with the code, follow the same workflow as the code, and are reviewed with the code, which is especially useful in an Agile environment, where docs are part of the “definition of done.”
GitHub includes version control, issue tracking, notifications, diffs, status dashboards, documentation, and social features. All of these features are useful when developing and managing documentation in a GitHub project. Technical communicators have other opportunities to contribute in GitHub, including commenting on, reviewing, and merging proposed changes and managing the wiki community.
In this session, we’ll learn about these features, GitHub terminology, and about documentation workflows in GitHub.
In November 2016, Liz Russell and Ksenia Dynkin of Bluecadet presented the STC-PMC with a case study about best practices learned from a project their company did for the Hoover Mason Trestle, a historical landmark inBethlehem, Pennsylvania. They spoke about the research that needed to be done, the content development process, the storytelling strategy and framework they devised, and how they translated the content strategy for user-friendly kiosks and apps for visitors' mobile devices when visiting the Hoover Mason Trestle.
In October 2016, Theodora Landgren of A2Z Global gave a presentation to the STC-PMC about best practices and common issues regarding global translation, localization, and cultural consideration practices with corporate clients. It's not just about words, but images, colors, and other UX considerations as well! She detailed various processes and answered questions at the live presentation.

With the increasing load of information passing through our senses, we need to be mindful in minimizing the cognitive load of our audience when communicating with them. In this talk, we’ll explore what cognitive load is, what it means to our audience and how we can be mindful in minimizing it in our communications.
By David Zimmer
It seems epidemic. In meetings, in job ads, in performance reviews and even in lunch conversations, we discuss our need to increase our critical thinking skills. Some use the term “critical thinking” in a general sense meaning all problem solving approaches. Others refer to the specific thinking modality of critical thinking.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Keynote Presentation: 8:45-10:15
Applying Research to Practice – Understanding Users
Presented by Ginny Redish
Willow Grove
Technical communicators led the change from system-oriented documentation to user-oriented manuals,
help, websites, and more. We brought content as conversation, content strategy, information design, and
usability to our companies and clients. Through all the changes – from paper to screen, from large screen to
mobiles, from manuals to social media – our goal remains the same: to create the product that works for
people.
To do that, we have to understand ourselves as writers and the people we converse with through our words
and images.
When, how, and what do our users and site visitors read — and not read?
What does that mean for how we select, organize, write, design, and test our content?
In this fun and interactive keynote, Ginny will share both research and practical examples that lead to
guidelines you can apply right away.
Ginny has been a passionate evangelist for clear writing and usability for many
years. Through her consulting practice, Redish & Associates, Inc., Ginny helps
clients plan, organize, design, write, and test all types of communications.
Ginny is sought after as a speaker and workshop leader. She is a dynamic
instructor who has trained thousands of writers and subject matter specialists in
the United States, Canada, Asia, and Europe. Reviewers rave about Ginny’s
most recent book, Letting Go of the Words – Writing Web Content that Works,
now in its second edition (2012). She has also written or co-written numerous
articles and book chapters, as well as two of the classic books on usability.

Tech Comm and Mobile – A Strategic Assessment
Presented by Neil Perlin
Thunderbolt
We’ve heard a lot about the mobile revolution in recent years. Everyone seems to have a mobile device, or
several. But tech comm itself has only barely moved beyond traditional print and online help. If your
company is thinking about going mobile, how might that affect tech comm?
That’s the subject of this presentation. We’ll start by looking at past tech comm paradigm shifts, like the
adoption of word processing in 1980 and the shift to HTML in 1997 and their effects. We’ll then look
specifically at defining “mobile”, the increase in technical rigor and authorial
simplicity needed to move into mobile, changes in writing, the anticipated loss
of institutional tech comm knowledge, the need for new business models like
iFixit that might take tech comm from a cost center to a revenue generator, and
more. You’ll probably leave this presentation with no specific answers but a lot
to think about.
Neil is an internationally known consultant, strategist, trainer, and developer for
online content ranging from help to mobile. He is Madcap Certified for Flare
and Mimic, Viziapps Certified for the Viziapps Studio app development

Upgrading Legacy Projects to Handle Responsive Output
Presented by Neil Perlin
Thunderbolt
Responsive output opens new venues for tech comm; we can create outputs for almost any device from
PCs to smartphones. But old projects can be hard to make responsive because they often have features that
don’t support responsive well – local formatting, graphics inserted using hidden tables, fixed width tables,
excessive content, information in large, static tables, and more. And what about “click” versus “tap” as the
output scales?
This presentation first reviews responsive output’s rationale and technology. It then looks at technical and
design problems and presents solutions. Finally, we’ll look at some code that can be used in topics and a
CSS to automatically change “click” to “tap” as the screen scales, solving a longstanding writing problem.
You’ll leave this presentation with a solid understanding of how to deal with legacy project problems and
how to improve your projects going forward.
Getting A Head in the Clouds
Presented by Timothy Esposito
Scenic
Heard about the “cloud”? Wondering what it entails and how you can use it? Can’t tell Google Talk from
Google Hangouts, or Google Drive from Google Groups? This session covers several popular cloud
solutions and how to get most use out of free services.
Getting a Head in the Cloud will demystify the many cloud options available to the everyday computer
user. The objective is to clearly list out common applications, explain their strengths and weaknesses, and
then show the audience to effectively use the tools to their best advantage.
To start, Tim will discuss the concept behind Cloud computing. Companies offer Cloud solutions for both
everyday consumers and at the corporate level. The various features offered by several prominent Cloud
sites, such as DropBox, Google Drive, and OneDrive, will be explained. Costs will be compared for extra
storage opportunities. The next section will delve into Google technology and how it works together.
Google offers many different tools for free, and keeping them all straight while using them efficiently can
be overwhelming. This presentation will break down the commonly used applications and show how they
all work together.
Another aspect of Cloud is synchronizing web browsers between machines. A brief discussion of Xmarks
will show how user data can by safely synchronized between browsers. With all this technology on our
computers, it is good to know that it is also available on mobile devices. Several
of the Cloud tools and their respective mobile apps will be explained. Finally,
Tim will summarize how all of these tools can work together to make your per-
sonal or work data management easier.
Timothy is a Principal Technical Writer at Oracle Corporation where he works
on logistics software. An STC member since 2005, for the Philadelphia Metro
Chapter Timothy has served as Scholarship Chair, Treasurer, Webmaster, and
was elected Vice President. Additionally Tim has participated in the 2012 and

Mastering Error Messages
Presented by Craig Borchardt
Alps
Error messages are a critical part of a user’s experience with a software product. When done poorly, they
can render even well-constructed software unusable; however, when done well, error messages almost
invisibly can add elegance, supporting users when they don’t understand and smoothing over the rough
spots within a poorly considered product. Error messages are definitely one area
where writers can have a tremendous impact in a product.
What can be done to improve the design, creation, and authoring of error mes-
sages? This high-level talk will touch on writing standards, development pro-
cesses, as well as issues with translation and mobile products.
Craig is a program manager who is responsible for the error message develop-
ment for Oracle Fusion Applications, working in collaboration with product
managers, writers, translators, and the UX team. He has been at Oracle since
1995 and holds graduate degrees in Professional and Technical Writing from
Carnegie Mellon University as well as Cognitive Psychology from Columbia University. He has com-
pleted additional studies in Carnegie Mellon’s Human-Computer Interaction Institute.

Public Speaking Skills: A Project Manager’s Best Friend
Presented by David Zimmer
Scenic
As project managers, we spend 90% of our time communicating: writing, talking, presenting or reporting
to our stakeholders. One of the most influential forms of communicating with our audiences is in a public
setting, whether it be a formal presentation, meeting, a gathering of people around the coffee machine or
wherever more than two people congregate. Public speaking done well enhances our credibility,
leadership, influence and reputation. Public speaking done poorly puts us back
in the pack of the other average people.
David has learned over the years that simple tips and tricks used by some of the
best speakers work for him, whether he was with an informal group of
colleagues, in tense meetings with stakeholders, or as a keynote presenter at
large industry conferences or as the invited speaker for the CIO briefings of
executives from the leading companies in Australia.
In this session, David helps you understand critical aspects of public speaking
and provides his secret tips and tricks making you a more influential speaker.
David A. Zimmer, PMP has been speaking publicly and professionally for the past 20 years. Over that
time, he has studied the art of speaking publicly, watched numerous professional and persuasive speakers,
and developed a bag of tips and tricks he uses to engage his audience. He credits his high ratings from
audiences to simple techniques taught in this seminar. He has given keynote speeches to large audiences
domestically and overseas. He provides instruction to corporations and companies in project management,
business analysis and change management practices, leadership, public speaking, team building, and con-
flict resolution. He is an adjunct professor at Pennsylvania State University – Abington. @dazimmer,

Technical Communicators and Translators: Let’s Speak the Same Language!
Presented by Myriam Siftar
Alps
With ever-increasing globalization, more and more technical materials are destined to be localized in at
least one foreign language. Preparing materials with translation in mind can save a great deal of time and
money during the translation process itself and make you a hero at your
company or to your client.
But what does this mean? It’s not just the writing itself that is involved; things
like the authoring tools, style guides, controlled language and terminology
management, organizing your materials for ease of reuse, and choice of
graphics and icons.
This presentation will help technical communicators understand how they can
have a positive impact on the localization process and its outcomes. Examples
8. 8
covering multiple language pairs and industry sectors will be discussed.
