Technical Authors Conference in Lithuania

We've agreed to be a sponsor of the Writers UA European online Help conference this September. We'll be at the conference in Vilnius, Lithuania, and we'll be doing a short presentation at the start of one the conference days. This will probably be on the subject of dealing with chaotic projects or improving your status as a technical author.

The STC is planning to have a Job Information Corner at this event and has kindly offered Cherryleaf the opportunity to include details of its current vacancies and services.

Here are the details on the event itself:

"Special Guest Speaker: Patrick Hofmann

Patrick Hofmann is a man of few words. In fact, he's an expert at creating better technical documentation using fewer words and more pictures. As a trained technical writer and now a visual interaction designer, Patrick has spent the last thirteen years helping clients like Sky, Nokia, Motorola, Philips, FedEx, HP, BASF, and AGFA improve the usability of their products--often by visualising their online, hardcopy, and interface information.

Patrick is back in the UK and will be our special guest at our "Communicating Visually" weekend on 23rd-24th June in Cambridge. On Saturday 23rd June he will be speaking on "Pictures and profits: the return-on-investment of visual information design and usability testing", and on Sunday 24th June Patrick will be leading an in-depth intensive seminar on "Intuitive Images". "

Patrick is a lovely man, an entertaining speaker and an expert in his field.
