ACES - 2009 national conference

Editing for the future

Learn, share and collaborate on journalism's future with leaders at the 2010 national conference April 15-17 in Phiadelphia

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 Philadelphia.

The 2010 meeting, April 15-17, will feature the fundamentals of the craft and a primer for what's to come. 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 13th 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

STRETCHING YOUR DOLLAR

ACES knows that times are tough for everyone, especially those in the industry, so we suggest a great money-saving idea: Get a roommate for the hotel. We've set up a roommate finder spreadsheet through Google Docs. It's easy to use, add your name or find someone already looking for a roommate for the conference.

GETTING THERE

Minneapolis-St. Paul International (MSP) is the closest major airport to downtown Minneapolis and is a hub to several national and regional airlines including Northwest and US Airways.
The easiest way to reach the hotel is by using the city's light rail service, which costs no more than $2.25 and takes you directly from the airport to Fifth and Marquette, which is five blocks from the hotel.
The travel time is about 25 minutes from baggage claim to the Hilton.
