For Immediate Release

SDI is pleased to be a Platinum sponsor for the 1st Society for Technical Communication (STC) India Summit on May 7-8, 2011, in Bangalore. The event’s theme is Collaboration and reaching beyond your profession – How STC India can Empower your knowledge and Drive Technical Communication.

Tamas Rasch, SDI Senior Vice President of Global Business Development, will give a talk titled “Realize ideas and innovate within your organization.” Larry Kunz, SDI Information Architect, will present workshops on project management and on using DITA features with the XMetaL editor.

SDI is an enthusiastic supporter of STC, the world’s largest professional society for technical communicators. The STC India Summit is expected to attract about 350 to 400 technical communicators, user experience professionals, instructional designers, corporate communicators, translators and localization professionals, technical writing instructors, and consultants.

Rajdeep Gupta, president of the STC India chapter and head of the Summit program team, outlined the Summit’s key objectives—among which are information exchange among technical writers across a wide range of disciplines, collaboration among Indian technical writers, and promotion of technical writing in India.

SDI’s participation in the event reflects its expanding presence in India.
