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.

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.

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.

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.
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. Unfortunately, we miss eight thinking modalities equally important when solving problems, developing new concepts or simply living life.
In this session, we provide an overview of the 9 thinking modalities, their characteristics and differences, and demonstrate their approaches to an example problem.
From this session, you will:
Learn the 9 Thinking Modalities.
Understand the characteristics and differentiators of each modality.
Recognize appropriate uses of each modality.
Learn how to overcome the Critical Thinking monopoly.

Whether you’re job hunting, blogging, tweeting, or concentrating on professional development goals, you should know what the world sees when they want to know more about you.
What does your personal brand look like? Do your industry peers even know you’re there?
This is a typical exercise that you may have seen if you have done any reading about personal branding. Before you can build or improve your personal brand, you need to know what others can learn about you online.
Search results on my own name are exactly as I want them to be. My professional and career information is what I want others to see first; I make sure it is always up to date.As a representative of my company, I want to project a professional image that reflects well on myself and my employer.I use LinkedIn and Twitter regularly. These are the primary places where I want my online persona to be displayed.Where do you want your online persona to be most prominent?What did your search results reveal?
Without logging in, search the social media channels and other online tools you use regularly to see publically-accessible information about you.Suggestion: Repeat the search exercise for as many search engines and channels as possible.
What goals do you have for your personal brand?Everyone’s motivations are different when it comes to personal branding (job hunting, getting noticed by your employer, or simply wanting to engage with other professionals in your profession to share ideas, etc.) The reason it’s called personal branding is because it’s personal to you---you shape the persona that you want others to see.Develop and record your goals. Review the goals quarterly to ensure that they are still the goals you want to achieve.
What are your search results?Do others see you as a professional or not?Example: Is your personal Facebook page open to the world? (That may or may not be something you want.)
Suggestion: Tackle personal accounts first and make them private, then create professional accounts to shape your personal brand.If using corporate resources for Twitter, Facebook, user groups, or other social media channels, be sure you know your organization’s rules and get the appropriate permissions, especially before engaging customers via social media. Project a friendly, professional persona in all communicationsand follow your organizations established best practices for using social media.

This first step is key (and it’s only a coffee break):Make the time and commit to those 15 minutes!You won’t be able to build your personal brand overnight. Small steps are the key to progress and success.Suggestion: If you did not prioritize your action list, go back and do that now so you can tackle the highest-priority personal branding changes first.After your 15 minutes, check completed items off the action list and move on with your day---you’ll be back tomorrow to make other improvements to your online persona!
Your personal brand is never “complete”. Just as your career continues to evolve, so does your personal brand!Once established, maintain a regular online presence and be an active and engaged participant in user groups, forums,discussions, etc.Keep up with industry-specific news and events (there may be a blog waiting there for you to write!)Hone your professional contact list. Surround yourself with professionals you trust and respect.Revise your goals and action list regularly.
There are thousands of articles, blogs, books, and online resources related to personal branding. Start at your local library and see what you can discover!
