IABC Business Writing Conference April 30, 2008

Learn how to write clearly and persuasively

In today’s workplace, writing is considered a “threshold skill” for hiring and promotion among salaried employees. “In most cases, writing ability could be your ticket in . . . or it could be your ticket out,” said one human resources director in a recent National Commission on Writing survey of 120 major corporations in the United States.

While all employees must be able to write, communication professionals must excel as the model for precise, coherent and engaging writing in their organizations.

The 2008 Business Writing Conference will offer training or retraining on the essential skills needed to write with clarity and persuasion in the workplace. This conference will help you write for employees, shareholders, CEOs and the media. You'll hear from experienced professionals on writing for different media such as web and print. You will learn how to overcome information overload to reach your readers and how to improve your writing skills immediately.
