Upcoming Indexing Events

updated November 22, 2005

If you know of an indexing-related event that might be of interest to SIG members and visitors, please contact our events editor, Lesley Peters. Please try to include the event's date, sponsor and title, location and time, brief description, and a URL for more information. (If possible, submit that information in that same order, too. It makes it easier to include on this page. :-)

The American Society of Indexers also keeps a relatively comprehensive list of indexing courses. For more information, visit ASI's courses page.

Also, the American Society of Indexers recently announced that they are compiling a list of indexers who have recently presented on an indexing topic at a workshop or seminar. Check the ASI website (www.asindexing.org) if you are interested in adding your name or if you want to find a speaker for your meeting or workshop. (Note that a listing does not imply an endorsement by ASI.)
