Worth a Thousand Words

Join us for the 11th IDEAS Online Conference, where we explore all aspects of the users’ visual experience when interacting with technical content. .
We are
 a community of people who believe that international standards, structured content, reuse capabilities, and multiple media delivery are the directions of the future.

What to Expect

Shoes Not Required

IDEAS is a two-day industry conference that you can attend virtually from the comfort of your own office. The conference includes a keynote session, followed by five 60-minute concurrent sessions in two tracks, giving you a choice of 11 unique presentations. Participate live according to the published schedule or watch a recording of any session when it is more convenient for you. IDEAS Online Conferences are scheduled twice each year, providing focused and interactive online sessions led by recognized industry leaders and experienced peers.

Who Should Attend

Worth a Thousand Words

No one wants to read a technical manual devoid of images. On the other hand, no one wants to stare at gratuitous graphics devoid of any meaning. What makes a good visual supplement to our words? What is required to completely replace words? What do technical writers need to know about defining or even developing technical illustrations and other media?

We look forward to seeing you online in July!
