Graham Campbell talks to attendees at this year’s ISTC (Institute of Scientific and Technical Communicators) Conference in Nottingham.

First, Graham talks to Mike Hamilton from MadCap Software about recent and future software releases and some of the new features and improvements in Flare 4.

Andrew Jackson of Pacific Blue Solutions gave a presentation on information mapping. He gives an overview of what information mapping is all about, why it’s relevant for technical writers and how you go about learning how to use information mapping.

In the final segment of the podcast, Graham gets “an assorted bunch of tech authors” (John, Chris, Katja and Paul) to share their thoughts about the conference and to discuss technical authoring in general.
