See you at LavaCon 2011!

Leave a reply

Thank you to everyone who supported me to attend LavaCon on Facebook, I greatly appreciate your help! As part of your support, my job while at LavaCon is to live blog and write some articles for the folks over at TechWhirl.

Tech–what? TechWhirl, formerly and popularly known as Techwr-L, is an online magazine and discussion group for technical communicators. It originally began as an email discussion group in 1993. You can read more about them and their history.

What does this mean for you and me? Great content for the TechWhirl website which promotes everyone involved with LavaCon. I’ve done blogging before and this will be a fantastic opportunity for everyone to see my networking, interviewing, and article writing skills in action. I look forward to writing about this conference.

I’ll post one or two more articles here at WriteTechie before I run off to LavaCon and I will post a recap of my attendance with links to articles on the TechWhirl website. You are more than welcome to contact me and offer feedback while I’m out and about at the conference. I wish to make it interactive as well as informative.

See you in Austin from November 13-16!

Five Reasons Why I Should Guest Blog at LavaCon

I’m posting a blurb here at WriteTechie because I would love to attend LavaCon 2011. There is so much knowledge that I can learn and share with the rest of my colleagues at the conference and on the TechWhirl site. Part of effort would be to win the contest sponsored by TechWhirl so I could live blog from the conference. Your support is greatly appreciated!

  1. I am easy to talk to and have an established network to draw on for attendee interviews and commentary.
  2. LavaCon will be a valuable experience for a relatively recent grad struggling to gain content development experience.
  3. My interests include social networking, content management, and education.
  4. I have an awesome TechComm blog ( http://writetechie.com/ ).
  5. I post frequently on Facebook, Google+, Twitter ( @rogerrenteria ) and LinkedIn

Also, I would love the honor of being a live blogger for TechWhirl.”
