7 October 2010; Nashville, Tennessee:

Organizers of PCOC — the Practical Conference on Communication — invited Solari President Rich Maggiani to speak at their conference. PCOC is the internationally-oriented conference of the East Tennessee chapter of the Society for Technical Communication (STC). The theme for the conference was building and sustaining your career in technical communication.

Maggiani plans to speak on two topics. First, STC Vice President Hillary Hart and Maggiani, in his capacity as an STC Board Director, presented a panel discussion entitled “The Regeneration of STC and What It Can Mean to You”. The session discussed the current direction of the Society and the benefits it holds for members.

In a second session, Maggiani presented “Enrich Your Career Using Social Media”. Rich drew on his expertise in social media to give practical advice on finding work, creating a personal brand, and promoting your career through social media (slides).
