ACES 2012 conference a success
Craig Silverman of the Poynter Institute presents "BS Detection for Digital Content" before a packed room at the ACES national conference Friday, April 13.
More than 350 copy editors and people interested in editing gathered April 12-14 to grab the tools they need for their careers at the 2012 national conference of the American Copy Editors Society in New Orleans.
ACES also honored some of its members, shared updates from a society-sponsored study about online editing and raised almost $12,000 for the ACES Education Fund.
You can still participate in the learning opportunities by reading tips from some of the sessions and downloading handouts to use for your personal or staff training events.

2013 conference moved to St. Louis
ACES had set Chapel Hill, N.C., as the site for the 2013 ACES conference, but a major hotel renovation has made that impossible. So we moved up St. Louis by a year: ACES 2013 will be in St. Louis from April 4-6, 2013, at the Hilton St. Louis Ballpark.
Follow us throughout the year for more information on the 2013 national conference.
