We are excited to share an early snapshot of the interactive sessions that will make up the four days of programming at ONA22, happening Sept. 21-24 in Los Angeles.
Community input through the public Suggestion Box and the volunteer ONA22 Program Team drive much of the conference. This year’s schedule will offer dozens of workshops and engaging presentations that center topic areas the ONA community has identified as most valuable:
- Audience development and metrics
- Emerging technology
- Innovative news storytelling
- Leadership development
- Revenue models, including content and product strategy
Special thanks to our sponsors.
Without further ado, here are the first sessions and speakers officially confirmed for ONA22.
