In this month's meeting, the Plain Language Action and Information Network (PLAIN) co-chairs will provide a recap of international plain language initiatives discussed at the 2017 Plain Language Association International conference in Graz, Austria.

The second Wednesday of every month, PLAIN hosts a monthly meeting from 2-3 p.m. Hosted by Digital Gov, the meetings are recorded and posted to Digital Gov's YouTube channel.

In addition to addressing timely topics, like science communications and health literacy, typical discussions include: plain language training; hands-on editing exercises; how to write for web and social media; and content strategy.
