The East Tennessee Chapter of the Society for Technical Communication revived this popular conference at The Chattanoogan hotel and conference center in Chattanooga, Tennessee October 10 - 11, 2008. This 25th PCOC event began with an outdoor evening reception at the hotel Thursday, October 9 and continued in a multi-track, multi-session format in the conference center all day Friday and Saturday.

Fun fall activities in the Chattanooga area--including a Friday night riverboat ride--made this an ideal conference to attend with family.
