Technical Communication Conference 2009 - Deadline for proposal expanded: 29 October 2008

Information designers,

This is my second attempt to call your attention to this conference.
Sorry, for my insistence, but I believed that this is a good opportunity to
expand the influence of information designers (with background on graphic
and cinematographic language) on the field of technical communication.
