Popular topics and lectures

There was a total of 200 lectures, workshops and tutorials on the three-day conference program. The spectrum ranged from the basics of technical documentation to standards and guidelines and terminology management to artificial intelligence scenarios. Language topics such as the correction and proofreading of technical documentation were also very well represented. As all conferences took place online in the past two years and the expectations of conference attendees have also changed accordingly, the selected presentations that took place in the large plenums were broadcast online. These include particularly popular topics such as metadata management, Deep Learning, the Green Deal for sustainable product use, standards, digitization in technical editing or the latest developments of iiRDS. As a refreshment in between, there were delicious mixed nuts at the tekom stand and chocolate from the sponsor TXTOMedia: a legendary 450 kg of Tony Chocolonely chocolate was distributed over the three days at the fair. And freshly brewed coffee was also very popular, with a total of 1,500 pots.

As the speakers' lectures and the exhibitor presentations were all recorded and can thus be accessed for three months via the conference tool on the tekom homepage, attendees on site were not faced with the decision which sessions they could see and which they had to miss. Some of the lectures were impressively rendered in visual form by the artist Henk Wijnands – in line with the concept of "graphic recording".
