The 2023 Online News Association Conference (#ONA23) is Aug. 23\u201326 in Philadelphia and Sept. 28-29 online.<\/p>\n
With community input, we are designing two types of programming this year.<\/p>\n
In August, ONA23: Philadelphia<\/b> will focus on in-person interactive sessions and conversational learning.<\/p>\n
In September, ONA23: Onward<\/b> will be a virtual, lean-back experience focused on sharing the biggest ideas in digital journalism, designed specifically for online participants.<\/p>\n
A volunteer Program Committee<\/a> composed of industry professionals from diverse backgrounds selects the majority of conference sessions from the Suggestion Box, our public call for pitches. (The Suggestion Box is now closed for submissions. <\/i>Learn more about the Suggestion Box process<\/i><\/a>).<\/p>\n Session pitches for both the in-person and virtual portions of the conference will be considered for programming at the same time via submissions to the Suggestion Box.<\/p>\n We will post the initial schedule for the conference in May and will continuously populate through July. In the meantime, we hope the outline below will be useful for your planning purposes.<\/p>\n Special thanks to our sponsors<\/a>.\n\t\t\t\t
