The STC Phoenix Chapter is pleased to host the 2014 Summit on 18–21 May. As the host chapter, we’re excited to have the opportunity to show off our city, and perhaps our uniquely beautiful state, to technical communicators from around the world.
While we won’t make you wear cowboy hats or force you to two-step, we will do our best to showcase western hospitality, culture, and cuisine. Perhaps you’ll gain the courage to try that green stuff next to the salsa (if it’s thick it’s guacamole; if it’s thin it’s green chile salsa—usually both are mild!). We’ll help you explore downtown Phoenix with its museums, clubs, and nightlife. Or maybe you’ll take a day trip to see the red rocks of Sedona, the majestic Grand Canyon, or historic Spanish missions in Tucson and Southern Arizona.
During the next few months, we’ll be using this space in Intercom to introduce you to metropolitan Phoenix and the state of Arizona. Our goal is to help making the decision to come to Phoenix an easy one. Since Summit 2014 will be held in downtown Phoenix, we’ll provide information on restaurants, happy hours, museums, and other attractions near the Summit hotel. We’ll also provide information on transportation around Phoenix to get you from airports to downtown. And in case you might want to burn a few vacation days, we’ll introduce you to natural and manmade wonders around our state that can serve as wonderful day trips.
The STC Phoenix Chapter hopes you will accept our hospitality and spend a little time with us in May 2014. We look forward to seeing you at the Summit!
