SpeedCon 2022: Communication Professionals: Past, Present, & Future was held on Saturday, April 9th. The 2021-22 Technical Communication Association (TCA) Board coordinated the event. Here is a recap of the day in case you missed anything!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What is SpeedCon?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n SpeedCon is the annual knowledge exchange conference for academics and industry professionals in tech comm hosted by NC State’s TCA. For the first time ever, SpeedCon 2022 was hosted in a hybrid format, allowing with many coming in person to the NC State campus and many watching from home through Zoom far from the Triangle area. The result is a vibrant platform to share knowledge and network with a broad range of tech comm professionals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n What was the theme this year?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This year\u2019s conference focused on specific roles and responsibilities in the past, present, and future of technical communication by examining the unique workplace applications of the diverse technical skills within the field. The goal was to broaden the lens of what it means to be a technical communicator since technical communication professionals are qualified for a wide variety of jobs, but we often concentrate on only a narrow range of the vast opportunities available. The result was an exploration of the positions available to tech comm professionals as well as the tools, technologies, and technical skill sets that support key job functions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n What kinds of events were held at SpeedCon?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Workshops, Speed Talks, Panels, and more! We were able to hear from 20 unique speakers from within the Triangle and far away. Topics for the day included:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Is there any way I can catch what I missed at SpeedCon 2022: Communication Professionals Past, Present, & Future?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n YES!
