Since 2006, APCOMTEC has organized events, workshops, a Summer School, and launched a Postgraduate Diploma with ISCAP.Since 2009, EuroSIGDOC organized 7 academic conferences and at least one seminar.Since 2013, Technical Writers Lisbon organized 15 formal events (together with EuroSIGDOC and APCOMTEC) with 40 presentations, attended by 346 persons.I took some minutes to present the organizers and sponsors: We had 23 persons when we finally started the meeting at 18h15. We can’t quite know if anyone gave up before the wait was over. Without any real means to communicate the delay, we just had to push on and pray for the patience of the attendees. However, the keys to start the Zoom meeting were held hostage by a ROTIP event (random obnoxious traffic in Porto) of force 6, which expanded a 15-minute short trip into a 90-minute exasperation. We had planned to meet half-an-hour before the event, to make sure that everything was set up just right.
