The LavaCon Content Strategy Conference

Hey All. Many of you know that Christopher Ward from WebWorks passed last year. He was a dear friend in addition to being a long time LavaCon supporter. Chris has told many captivating stories over the years about his time in the US Army, so his wife Deb is running a marathon on May 25 to raise money for the Wounded Warriors Project, a leading service organization for veterans. Please join me in helping Deb meet her goal of raising $5,000 in Chris' honor? Details here: https://lnkd.in/g-5NW35g

The Content Wrangler is partnering with ProSpring Technical Staffing to conduct a three-minute survey to better understand current and future staffing needs across technical documentation teams. If you are a documentation manager or team leader responsible for hiring staff, your input will help us identify hiring trends, critical skills in demand, and the challenges organizations face in building strong documentation teams. The results will be shared in an upcoming webinar hosted by The Content Wrangler designed to give you actionable insights into the state of technical documentation staffing. Complete the survey (and provide a valid email address) to be entered into a drawing for a free ticket to the The LavaCon Content Strategy Conference on Content Strategy and Technical Documentation Management (a $2,500 value), taking place October 25–28, 2026, in Charlotte, North Carolina.
