Technical Editing SIG Members:

If you're attending the STC Summit this month, we'd love to meet with you!

Let's get the conference started off right by meeting for breakfast at the hotel's restaurant, o'h American Grill(external link), on Monday, May 21, at 6 AM. Yeah, it's early (!). But, this way, we'll have plenty of time to chat before registration opens at 7:30.

Reservations are not mandatory, but they are appreciated (so that we can let the restaurant know how many people we're expecting). Please RSVP by
by Sunday, May 20, at 5 PM CT (UTC-5 hours).

Rick Sapir and I will see you there!
