Our community’s fresh and creative ideas fuel much of the experience at ONA’s annual conference. Now is your chance to share how you want to contribute to ONA24 (Sept. 18-21 in Atlanta).
Propose a session
The ONA24 Suggestion Box is where the conference program takes shape.
What are you learning lately that you are eager to share with the journalism community? What conversations or perspectives are being overlooked? We are looking for inspirational and practical ideas around emerging trends in journalism and sessions that are oriented to building solutions.
The Suggestion Box is open through April 12, 11:59 p.m. EDT. Anyone can pitch, and you can share as many ideas as you like.
To help you prepare great proposals, we’ve created a comprehensive guide about the Suggestion Box process:
- Find answers to FAQs, including who reviews the submissions and how we approach diversity in the programming
- Review the four session formats: skill-building, best practices and case studies, panels and masterclasses
- Don’t miss the 10 factors that make a great pitch
- Learn more about what to expect after you submit.
Propose a meetup
In addition to a strong focus on practical training, we are designing the ONA24 program with even more ways to connect with peers. The schedule includes session blocks for open, minimally-structured meetups based on topics.
Meetups might gather people around similar job roles, coverage areas such as elections or climate, specific interests and more. At this stage, anything goes — we want to hear what’s on your mind! Tell us about the connections you want to make while in Atlanta.
Beyond the conference
ONA offers programming all year to learn with like-minded peers and form deeper connections.
