soap! conference 2024

#10. Ten.

For soap!, this is the number of times we gathered together to share knowledge and learn from each others’ experience. But even though what tech comm specialists usually think about are words, we also deal with numbers quite a lot. And at the next soap!, we want to hear your stories on # numbers.

Demographics. Stats. Data analytics. Salary. Content and team sizes. Budgets. Costs and savings. Metrics. You name it. Let’s prove that in our field, numbers are equally important as words.

What’s the optimal size of a tech writing team? How many managers per technical writer is too many? What’s data storytelling and how to make use of it in customer documentation? Is your content data-driven? What is the growth rate of technical writers? Whether it’s people or project management, information architecture, Content Ops, or any other tech-comm related angle, numbers play a huge role in our day-to-day business, but it seems like we never give them enough spotlight.
