This year’s SPJ convention, taking place Oct. 3-5 in Las Vegas, promises to bring hands-on training to conference-goers. There will be 50+ workshops with many sessions focusing on the use of multimedia and social networking tools packed into two days. From the Las Vegas Sun, Rob Curley, well known for his work in managing multimedia in the newsroom, will be joining the conference as a keynote speaker. SPJ continues to put on a no-frills conference for journalists, educators and students that offers the perfect mix of professional development training and networking opportunities (and a lot of fun) – at an affordable price. SPJ’s national conference is one of the best buys out there when compared to other journalism conferences happening each year.
SPJ members, be sure to arrive by 1 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 3, for the Opening Business Session, regional meetings, chapter leaders’ sessions and the Opening Night Reception.
Registration is now open and you can book your room at Planet Hollywood at an outstanding rate of $129/night! Please visit www.spj.org/convention.asp to view the schedule, room rates and registration fees.
