A joint event with our friends from Content Strategy DC!
A roundtable discussion about systems, tools, and putting them—and us—to work
Our content systems, tools, and processes are failing us. Where are the magical content design and content strategy solutions that are supposed to make our jobs easy? Let’s talk about it.
Featuring content pros from diverse backgrounds and with unique perspectives, this panel discussion will explore design systems, tools, and ways we can help our companies and ourselves rediscover the magic in content.
Some of the issues up for discussion:
- How do we use the tools we have?
- How do we fix the tools we have?
- How do we make content a valued part of design systems?
- How do we create content standards that matter and help better content get delivered?
- How do we make generative AI our writing partner, and how do we operationalize using it in these times of downsizing and layoffs?
- How do we scale our efforts, especially when our teams have been reduced while the volume of work stays the same?
Join us as we ask these and more questions, and come with content questions of your own. We have a lot to figure out together. And we deserve a little magic, don’t we?
