Informal meetups in Basel

Friday, February 29th, 2008

Over the past year, a small (but resilient) group of writers, translators and managers has been meeting at regular intervals at a downtown Basel restaurant.

There’s no set agenda: We discuss general topics, as well as STC and work-related issues.

If you’re interested in joining us, please leave a comment below and we’ll send you the meetup details.

SWIG networking dinner

Monday, December 10th, 2007

New! We expect over 12 people to attend!

Join other technical communicators in Switzerland for a networking fondue dinner at the Restaurant Hasenburg (Schneidergasse 20, 4051 Basel) on Friday, January 18 at 19:00.

If you would like to join us for an evening of fun and fondue while we chat about our field, send a message to Dan Jones by Wednesday, January 16. We’ll include you in our reservation.

Swiss Local Interest Group (SWIG)

Thursday, August 2nd, 2007

Join the Swiss Local Interest Group (SWIG)! We’re made up of TransAlpine chapter members who live and work in Switzerland or just across the border in surrounding countries. We try to meet at least twice per year—once in Zurich and once in Basel—to attend an STC Webinar together, visit a trade show, or just hang out and network.

SWIG membership is free and easy. Just send an e-mail message to Dan Jones, SWIG leader, who will add you to our mailing list. Then watch for an announcement about our next event.
