What is TCUK?
Technical Communication UK (TCUK) is the ISTC’s flagship annual conference, bringing together professionals who craft, shape, and share technical information. Connect with like-minded peers, exchange ideas, and gain fresh perspectives through inspiring talks and lively discussions. TCUK is where your professional community comes to life.
“It’s just a fantastic event that feels personal and there’s a lot of love put into it.”

What makes TCUK different?
TCUK is a conference with a unique feel. Hosted by the ISTC, it is focused on strengthening our Technical Communication community. The committment to high-quality, practicable learning is shown in the carefully curated and varied programme. Core to the philosophy of TCUK, however, is our dedication to creating a welcoming, safe environment that encourages connection between all attendees: delegates, speakers and sponsors.
This unique blend of community and learning, of networking and CPD, makes TCUK a great way to grow your business, develop your staff, and (just as importantly) leave you feeling inspired and uplifted.
Organised by a team of volunteers from the community, supported by sponsors who understand and serve the community, and attended by people who enjoy being part of the community, you are sure to come away with rewarding connections and new insights.
