Write the Docs PDX is joining forces with the great folks at Portland State University’s technical communications program on Thursday 11/21 to host a panel on technical writing and artificial intelligence.

Three presenters will discuss the current state of AI tools in the realm of technical documentation and where we might be headed as practitioners and professionals.

• Richard Coffey on writing with AI tools at Amazon Web Services
• Manny Silva, Head of Documentation at Skyflow, on the documentation pipeline of the near future. (Check out Manny’s talk at the Write the Docs Atlantic conference.)
• Bryan Schnabel, Digital Experience Manager at Verathon Inc., previewing his winter course AI Tools for Writers

The annual PDX Annual October Tech Writing Supermeetup returns, with the topic of Burnout to Rejuvenation: Taking care of ourselves and reimagining possibilities.

During the event, we will share experiences and ideas from several Tech Writing professionals who have navigated the past few years working in remote, hybrid, and in-person environments. Special emphasis will be on actions taken by presenters to address work burnout, self-care, and rethinking work processes.

In-person pizza will be served!

As a way into the topic, we recommend reading the article: The End of Burnout: Why Work Drains Us and How to Build Better Lives: https://nextbigideaclub.com/magazine/end-burnout-work-drains-us-build-better-lives-bookbite/32042/
