PCOC is back! The East Tennessee Chapter of the Society for Technical Communication revives this popular conference at The Chattanoogan hotel and conference center in Chattanooga, Tennessee October 10 - 11, 2008. This 25th PCOC event begins with an outdoor evening reception at the hotel Thursday, October 9 and continues in a multi-track, multi-session format in the conference center all day Friday and Saturday. Friday's speaker Dr. Mark Mendenhall, distinguished business professor and expert in global leadership, will provide insight into the global corporate culture. Saturday's keynote, Dr. Kirk St.Amant, is an Associate Professor of Technical and Professional Communication in the Department of English at East Carolina University. He has a background in anthropology, international government, and technical communication, and his research interests include intercultural exchanges via online media and international outsourcing. He has taught online and conventional courses in technical and professional communication and in intercultural communication for Texas Tech University, Mercer University, and James Madison University. He has also taught courses in e-commerce, distance education, and business communication in Ukraine as a part of the USAID-sponsored Consortium for the Enhancement of Ukrainian Management Education (CEUME). Fun fall activities in the Chattanooga area--including a Friday night riverboat ride--make this an ideal conference to attend with family. |
