Call for Papers: STVY Conference 2027

Our theme for 2027 is Reuse and recycle.

Is the world drowning in content?

Our core competency is designing content that can serve more than a single use. We know how to create content that is usable and useful for different audiences in different contexts, publication channels, and lifecycle stages.

We believe that the skills of technical communicators are valuable both now and in the future and warmly invite you to share your expertise in our 30th anniversary year conference in Jyväskylä, Finland, on 13–14 May 2027.

We welcome presentations on the conference theme Reuse and recycle – as long as you stay in the context of technical communication, feel free to interpret the theme broadly. The target presentation length is about 20 minutes with an additional 10 minutes for questions and comments. The conference has traditionally brought together students and early career technical communicators as well as seasoned professionals from Finland and elsewhere in the world.

To apply, please send your abstract (max. 250 words) and your speaker bio (max. 100 words) to info@stvy.fi by 1 January 2027. The conference languages are Finnish and English, and the presentations (as well as your abstract and bio) can be in either language. All applicants will be notified of acceptance by 31 January 2027.

We reserve the right to use your abstract and bio in our conference communications and expect to receive your final presentation materials at info@stvy.fi by 18 April 2027. The presentations will be shared with participants and STVY members after the conference, and related content may also be published on the STVY website.

Please feel free to distribute this call for papers.

Further information about the conference will be available in early 2027. We hope to see you in Jyväskylä!
