The Online News Association, the world's largest membership organization of digital journalists, today announced the program for its 2010 Conference & Awards Banquet, the incubator for emerging ideas, media networking and newsroom technology.
ONA10 will officially open Thursday, Oct. 28, with a reception at the historic Donald W. Reynolds Center for American Art and Portraiture and end with The Online Journalism Awards Banquet on Oct. 30, celebrating the best in digital journalism.
Among the presenters so far are Bill Alison, the Sunlight Foundation; Anil Dash, Expert Labs; Jim Brady, TBD.com; Qiana Mestrich, Beliefnet; Alicia Shepard, NPR; Andrew Noyes, Facebook; Charles Lewis, Investigative Reporting Workshop at American University; Mark Briggs, Serra Media; Laura Brunow Miner, Pictory; design gurus Roger Black and Jeffrey Zeldman; Tyson Evans, New York Times; David Wright, NPR; Rachel Kaufman, MediaBistro; Marcia Parker, AOL Patch and Chris Barr, Yahoo!.
"There's a reason why our last three conferences have sold out early," said Jane McDonnell, ONA Executive Director. "This is where journalists and their new collaborators come to learn, grow and share excitement and pride in how their profession is evolving."
The pre-conference will kick off at the Marriott Renaissance Downtown Hotel Thursday, Oct. 28, with hands-on digital mentoring and field trips with experts, as well as the third annual Career Summit & Job Fair, and move on to three tracks of journalism, tools and design Friday and Saturday, Oct. 29 and 30. Keynote speakers sharing their visions on media, technology and government will be announced shortly.
New this year: ONA10 J-Camp and Office Hours. Attendees will have a direct line to Google and Twitter geek squads as staff from both companies will be on hand throughout the conference to answer questions and offer tips on how to get the most out of their tools and technology.
Conference sessions will focus on everything from killer apps, mobile, the 10 hottest tech trends, tools for crisis reporting, geolocation, SEO, APIs and Document Cloud to the new investigative journalism partnerships, niche news and the new content providers, news design, data visualization and coding. The program so far is available here; more sessions will be scheduled as ONA keeps an eye on media trends.
