Exhibitor Information:

The STC Technical Communication Summit and Expo Hall has long been considered the premier event to unveil and demonstrate new and exciting products, services, and technology to the world of technical communication. Technical communicators see STC’s annual conference as the one “must-attend” conference of the year where they can learn new job skills, network with like-minded individuals, and receive the tools they need to be successful in their careers. With hundreds of attendees, these highly skilled professionals gain training and career development from technical sessions, networking opportunities, and interaction with exhibitors and sponsors.

Why exhibit or sponsor?

Expand your visibility and customer base. Exhibiting and face-to-face connections are much more effective than cold-calling, and offer more opportunities to meet the potential customers.

Get in touch with decision-makers and top influencers. Summit attendees come to the conference from more than a dozen countries from around the world and include technical writers, usability specialists, documentation managers, web designers, illustrators, managers, educators, translators, and other communicators. This means that you have a greater chance of getting in front of the people that matter most at a company.
