STC's annual conference is the world's largest gathering of technical communicators. This time the conference is special, as it marks 50 golden years of STC. The conference would be held at Wyndham Anatole Hotel in Dallas, Texas, USA, from May 18 to 21, 2003. The conference will include more than 250 educational presentations, workshops, vendor exhibits, and displays of the winning entries of the Society's international competitions.
