ConVEx 2021 - Virtual Experience

Etteplan presents on ConVEx 2021

ConVEx 2021 is not an online simulation of an in-person conference, but an immersive experience for content developers to provide them with a wealth of ideas and information. The event is not bound by time or location, you can participate whenever you want, in any time zone.

Berry Braster and Pim Bekker from Etteplan will talk about smart technical content and the possibilities in digitization and standardization to move up the information maturity ladder. After registration, you can visit Etteplans virtual booth in the online ConVEx 2021 Exhibit Hall.

What Counts In Technical Writing In 2021?

In the field of technical documentation, several factors drive change and call for a better approach or strategy. Writers expect more user-friendliness, their managers want more measurability and cost control in content production, end-users need more user-centric content, and modern IT demands cloud-based solutions, especially in the ‘new normal’ caused by the pandemic. Additionally, the global demand for STE, or Simplified Technical English, keeps growing. During this presentation, we’ll discuss the trends for 2021 including the importance of content quality when working from home.
