LavaCon 2018 was a blast! We were a Sapphire Sponsor for 2018 and it was our best LavaCon ever. On October 21 to 24, the Astor Crowne Plaza Hotel, New Orleans, LA was filled with engaging and fun activities. Barry led two breakout sessions and a three-hour workshop, and we sponsored events throughout the four-day conference.
Barry showcases his new book, Outsourcing Technical Writing: A Primer, at Mag's 940 bar.
If you attend LavaCon, be sure to arrive before Sunday evening – every year Saiff Solutions sponsors the participant reception Sunday night – every year Saiff Solutions sponsors the participant reception Sunday night – the best of all LavaCon parties!
Along with the fun-filled discussions during LavaCon 2018 was the release of Barry's book, Technical Writing Outsourcing: A Primer. It was published on October 20 and was available for the first time in LavaCon! It is the newest book in the Content Wrangler Content Strategy Series and will help you understand to achieve improved content quality and production via outsourcing. You can grab a copy of the book at Amazon or XML Press.

In 2018, we delivered 33 different types of training to our staff. We are on track to deliver 60 different types of training in 2019.
One highlight: We’ve launched a new training program called WRAMPS. Our staff will focus on developing their talents in these areas:
Writing
Reading
Arts
Math
Practice
Speaking
Of course, the underlying focus on many of the activities is our favorite language, English! The key to improvement is Practice – each employee will practice these skills regularly throughout the year.
It has been an amazing year and we are eternally grateful to our customers, partners, and supporters. You are all part of our success! Here’s to an even more amazing 2019!
