“I always have at least one jaw-drop moment at ONA where I learn one \u2018big\u2019 thing that was worth the price of admission all by itself. 2018 did not disappoint, but it came with plenty of smaller jaw-drop moments to cement the trend.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n“The opportunity to meet others in our industry. As an entry-level reporter straight out of school, I found it exciting to speak to peers (especially represented in the volunteer corps) as well as more experienced professionals at sessions and mingling events.”<\/p>\n
\n“The amazing combination of level-headedness and optimism that I haven’t experienced in the news in a while.”<\/p>\n
\n“The conference is inclusive, fun, and informative. I most enjoy the mix of programming, from research-based sessions to hands-on workshops.”<\/p>\n
\n“Positive vibe toward change, openness about discussing issues, access to people who are at the forefront of the evolution of online news.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
