About the Presentation

Sharon Burton is surprised to discover she has over 25 years in content development. Over these years, she’s been an employee, a consultant, a teacher, and product evangelist. She’s seen a lot of content and a lot of fads. In this talk, Sharon will cover 10 things she’s learned over a 25 year career about content and content development. Sharon will share her thoughts about at least:

* Why content matters
* Why customers care
* Why companies are usually wrong about the content they create
* Why Word is not your friend
* How tools solve problems
* How schedules drive content
* And other thoughts about our industry

Location and Parking

DoubleTreeClub

7 Hutton Centre Dr.
Santa Ana, California 92707-5794

There is another DoubleTree hotel nearby, so it’s easy to accidentally go to the wrong location if you do a search for “DoubleTree” on your phone, instead of searching for the exact address!

The DoubleTree Club offers complimentary valet parking. If you prefer to self-park, tell the valet that you’re at the hotel for an OCSTC meeting, and ask if you can park yourself.
