The Spectrum conference is a gem in Central NY. What a treat to have STC officers as well as experts in the tech comm field come to Rochester for networking and education. As an Albany, NY resident who can never travel to the national Summit, this conference is not an opportunity I believe I can afford to miss; it pays great career dividends. The STC Rochester council runs an impressive and well-organized program, and I appreciate how welcoming they are to out-of-towners like me. I loved coming back home with so much new information to reflect in, follow up on, and immediately apply to my current work.
