There’s no question that one of the biggest needs right now is training on AI for journalists and newsroom leaders. Since we launched regular virtual training and collaboration sessions through the AI in Journalism Initiative in February, over 1,100 people have engaged with the program.
We’re bringing that enthusiasm to Atlanta this September when we gather in person for ONA24. We’re excited to convene the leaders who are looking deeply at the opportunities AI presents now and what’s coming next, and the newsroom innovators with hands-on experience implementing AI tools to improve their work and better serve audiences. You can join us with a full conference pass for four-day access or with a day pass. See registration options.
If developing AI strategies and skills are high-priority for your team, take a look at AI-focused sessions confirmed so far that should be on your must-experience list while at ONA24.
