Annual Conference
STC India Chapter Annual Conferences have
provided learning and networking opportunities for technical
communicators since 1999. The largest gathering of technical
communicators in India, the conference showcases the strengths and
knowledge levels of the technical communication community and
attracts over 200 delegates each year. Pre-conference workshops are
conducted to help delegates obtain training on functional areas and
authoring tools.
The annual conference attracts the largest
gathering of STC India Chapter members who are otherwise scattered
across the subcontinent. Elections to the India chapter
administrative council take place during the 2-day event.

Learning Sessions
The focus of the India chapter is on educational
initiatives. One of our first activities was to start the series of
learning sessions. This initiative has come a long way hence and we
now have regular learning sessions at Pune, Hyderabad,
Bangalore,
Mumbai, and Chennai.
Academic Initiatives
Today, the country has at least two
university-level courses in Technical Communication—an optional
paper in the Master of Communication and Journalism (MCJ) course
offered by the Dept. of Mass Communication, Calicut University and
a short-term program offered by Stella Maris College, Chennai. STC
India chapter members and other technical communicators played a
key role in setting up and running these courses.
Student Scholarships
The STC India chapter is pleased to
announce the scholarship program for the year 2007. This
