Come hang out with Code for Nashville, the Society of Professional Journalists, and the Online News Association.
We’re going to get together for some booze, some conversation, and a couple of lightning fast presentations on the potential and power of the confluence of tech and journalism. We have a lot to offer each other in terms of our professions and perspectives, so come learn some stuff and meet people.
