Editing for the future

Learn, share and collaborate on journalism's future with leaders at the 2011 national conference March 17-19 in Phoenix

What does the future hold for editors of the printed word? This is one of the many questions copy editors face in a future of changing operations, dwindling resources and shrinking print revenue. Join colleagues from across the country — and mediums — at the ACES national conference in Phoenix.

The 2011 meeting, March 17-19, will feature the fundamentals of the craft and a primer for what's to come in conjunction with Arizona State University's Cronkite School of Journalism. Each year, copy desk executives, professionals, students and academics come together for three days of lectures, discussions and more. Why not you? Be a part of this brave new world with the industry's best and brightest. Be a part of ACES 14th annual conference.

Each time when I have returned to work, my boss notices a change for the better! The conferences always get me jazzed about journalism again. — Melissa Murdza, Stars and Stripes

GETTING INVOLVED

There are several ways you could help ACES put on a great conference:

  • If you're interested in joining the planning committee, contact Lisa McLendon, vice president of conferences
  • And we're always on the lookout for new seminars to help copy editors of all ages and levels. If you have an idea of what should be presented, send us a message.
  • If you're in a leadership role at your paper, or know a boss who's a fan of ACES, consider making your publication a sponsor.
