The fall convention returns to the South in 2023,
from Sunday to Thursday, Oct. 29-Nov. 2, in Atlanta.
Sponsored by Associated Collegiate Press and College Media Association, the nation’s largest gathering of college journalists and advisers meets
at the Hyatt Regency Atlanta for four days
of sessions, speakers, critiques and contests.
With attendance upwards of 1,000 delegates, the annual fall gathering is
the place to seek solutions to the most challenging
publishing and broadcasting problems,
share success stories, see what’s new in the media marketplace,
and network with students and advisers from across the nation.
You’ll also interact with journalists from across the nation.
Two professional associations —
the Radio Television Digital News Association and
the Society for Professional Journalists Region 3 —
will meet concurrently during our convention.
Gray Television, a convention sponsor that also hires collegiate journalists for jobs and internships, will lead a track of breakout sessions.
Oct. 6 is the deadline for hotel rooms and for early bird registration rates.
