The Society for Technical Communication (STC) India chapter welcomes you to its 8th Annual Conference at the garden city of Bangalore from December 7th to December 9th, 2006.

Over the years, STC India's annual conferences have grown to be veritable kumbh melas for Technical Communicators in this part of the world, who congregate at the annual conferences to celebrate the spirit and essence of our wonderful profession.

The 8th Annual Conference of the STC India Chapter to be held at Bangalore will reflect the exponential growth our profession has seen over the last few years. We run no risk of resorting to hyperbole when we say that this annual conference will be the biggest ever yet.

The annual conference showcases a slew of workshops and presentations that will open new vistas of knowledge and technology and enable you to broad base your skills. The annual conference also provides an unrivalled opportunity to network and interact with the best in the business.

One of the biggest takeaways of the annual conference is the camaraderie and the sense of belonging that it imparts. That niggling problem you've been trying to solve somehow seems less painful when you notice fellow sufferers --- or even better, discover a workaround!
