The journalism industry and profession have changed dramatically in recent years, especially for freelance writers. Our journalism track offers tips and techniques for continuing your career and building your business, and our speakers and session leaders will get you ready for what’s coming next.
Whether you’re an experienced content writer or just branching out into this lucrative field, you’ll get up-to-the minute insight, featuring some of the most accomplished and knowledgable freelance writers and clients in the country. From blog posts to white papers, our content marketing track will get you primed for more clients and more assignments.
Authors and authors-to-be are encouraged to attend our books track. From planning to writing to marketing and beyond, this track promises solid take-home advice and inspiration designed to get your book published and in front of readers, with advice from published authors and a pitch slam with editors and agents.
Three tracks – journalism, books, and content marketing – offer something for everyone, including craft and business insight and advice. See each individual track for a list of its sessions. All sessions are recorded and can be viewed at a later date. (Attend all sessions with a full conference registration; attend all track sessions with a track registration. Or register for individual tracks.)
These facilitated conversations are designed to be casual and fun, with one host and up to twenty attendees per topic. There will be three snack chats each day, one for each track topic. See each individual track for a list of its snack chats. Snack chats are not recorded and must be attended live. (Separate registration required; opens in September; track or full conference registration required.)
