<P CLASS="yiv0577020793MsoNormal">You are at the point where creating structured content is second nature. You can design a crisp clean UI and conduct textbook usability sessions without breaking a sweat. You can even design a chatbot so users never know they are not typing with a human. Are those skills and that knowledge enough to get you to the next level in your career? Is how to create technical communication more important than why? Is our pursuit of perfectly authored content hurting our audience?</P>
<P CLASS="yiv0577020793MsoNormal">We are technical communicators for a reason, and it is time for us to regain our focus on the technology we support.</P>
<P>In this session, we will discuss the importance of technical knowledge, and learn tips on how to gain technical knowledge and skills without going back to school.</P>
