Technical Writers' Exchange of Experience Workshop 2021

The TW Workshop offers an opportunity for technical writers in the Czech Republic to share their knowledge, experience, and passion for writing. If you want to meet (not only) Czech technical writers, find a solution to your problem or present your ideas, you are warmly welcomed. You might be glad to see that we all battle the same dragons. Or, perhaps, windmills.

The next year is (hopefully) going to take place in the first half of 2021 in the CZ.NIC Academy in Prague.
