Stilo is pleased to once again be one of the sponsors of the annual LavaCon content strategy conference being held in New Orleans, Louisiana from October 21-24, 2018. You will find us on booth # 21 in the Grand Ballroom, where lunch is being served and close by to the coffee station!
LavaCon started in Hawaii (hence the name) to give content strategists, documentation managers, and senior content professionals an opportunity to get away from the office and tend to their professional development. The conference mission is:
- To help content developers embrace rapidly changing technology and customer demographics
- To connect organizations experiencing content challenges with the consulting, translation, and tool vendors who can help
- To create a community where content professionals can collaborate and advance the field as a whole
This year’s theme is Creating Content Experience Ecosystems. Visit the conference website for further information and to register.
Stilo’s Conversion Services Manager, Helen St. Denis will be making the following presentation at LavaCon 2018:
‘Tis an Unweeded Garden that Grows to Seed—Cultivating a Weed-Free Content Ecosystem
Wednesday, October 24 – 11.30-12.30
In this session, Stilo’s Conversion Services Manager, Helen St. Denis, will show how organizations can get rid of ‘unwanted specimens and deadwood’, identify opportunities for reuse—create once, publish everywhere—and put in place strategies for maintaining your content assets so as not to get overgrown again.
Helen will cover:
- Weeding (Content audit)
- Preparing to transplant the good stuff (Pre-conversion preparation)
- Selecting the correct location (Identifying topic type)
- Pruning (Ensuring content matches the content model)
- Looking after your new garden (Post-conversion)
- Thinning (Content deduplication and reuse)
