Feedback

Some of the feedback I received from the audience was:

• Swapnil did a great job at explaining why documentation advocacy is important and can help future-proof our roles. His presentation was clean and crisp.
• Really got me thinking about how I can work to raise the profile of technical writing, rather than waiting for someone else to do it.
• This is a topic we could all do better at so it was good here Swapnil’s approach.
• The energy was great, loved the layout of the slides - really engaging.
