Keynotes: Carlos Evia, David Blakesley

• We are very happy to announce that Carlos Evia of Virginia Tech has agreed to give a keynote address, “The future of technical documentation starts with its recent past”. Carlos's research focus area include technical communication, user assistance, and structured authoring. He is a professor in the School of Communication at Virginia Tech, and also associate dean for transdisciplinary initiatives and chief technology officer in the College of Liberal Arts and Human Sciences.
• We are equally happy that David Blakesley has also agreed to give a keynote presentation. David is the Campbell Chair in Technical Communication and Professor of English at Clemson University, as well as the CEO of Parlor Press.

Organization

The conference will be held online via Zoom. Thanks to the University of Adelaide, Australia, for making this possible.

We envision with talks of approximately 30-40 minutes, time for q&a, and several breaks throughout the days. Given the global nature of an online conference, the talks will be extended throughout each day, according to the speakers' locations, rather than focused on one timezone. We expect that talks will be recorded and available for viewing afterwards.

As always, the success of the conference depends on speakers coming forward. Please email the conference committee with proposals and abstracts. Call for papers.

We request that all participants and speakers register for the conference. It is free of charge, though donations are most welcome to help defray expenses and to support TeX and TUG.

Volunteers needed

We need help for the conference to go well. Specifically:

• Moderators/chairpeople for the sessions. It will be the job of these people to parse the messages on the chat and present questions to the speaker. Ideally, but not necessarily, someone with some knowledge of the subject of the talk.
• Managers for the break rooms and/or social events.

Please email us if you might like to help; we're happy to provide more information.
