How is newsroom size determined so that I know which rate to sign up for?<\/h4>\n

Choose your size category based on the total number of your organization\u2019s full-time or equivalent employees who work on producing news, even indirectly, including ad sales reps, technical staff and\/or a business development department.

Does my registration include a ticket to the Online Journalism Awards Banquet and Ceremony?<\/h4>\n

Attending the OJA banquet requires a separate ticket. You can purchase a ticket at the same time as registration. If you don\u2019t purchase your ticket at the same time as your registration, you can purchase a ticket at any time. See our registration page for details<\/a>.<\/p>\n

ONA does not sell attendee contact information and we work to keep your contact information secure. Read more about how we handle guest information<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Attendee List Scam Notice: <\/strong>We\u2019ve been notified that some attendees have received emails from companies claiming to have access to ONA conference attendee lists. We do not sell or rent our attendee list, and we do not have a relationship with any of these companies. We encourage anyone who receives any outreach about attendee lists to not click on any links or respond.<\/p>\n

Will ONA help me with my visa application to travel to ONA23?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

If you require a U.S. visa to attend ONA23, you may request a confirmation of registration document only after you have completed registration for the conference and paid the conference registration fee, if applicable.<\/p>\n

Does ONA give complimentary registration to media covering the event?<\/b><\/h4>\n
