SPJ Conference

Got this message from America:
Dear SPJ Region 11 Chapter Presidents/chapter advisers,
We're putting the finishing touches on details of the upcoming SPJ Region 11 spring conference April 3-4 in Phoenix. As soon as absolutely possible, please post the blurb below my signature with details on your chapter Web sites and blast e-mail it to your members and e-mai lists.
We are trying to encourage the greatest possible attendance for this event, which will feature many exciting and on-top-of-it-all speakers -- and will feature some great networking-and-fun after-conference opportunities in the revitalized and reverberating downtown Phoenix scene. Thanks. See you in Phoenix! --Mark Scarp, conference coordinator, Valley of the Sun (Phoenix) SPJ pro chapter. = = = = = =

Save these dates! SPJ's Region 11 Conference April 3-4 at "journalism starship,' the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication in Phoenix!

Start making plans now to see the very latest innovation in journalism education, the six-story, $71 million, 250,000-square-foot Arizona State University Walter Cronkite School of Mass Communication in downtown Phoenix, site of the 2009 SPJ Region 11 Conference, April 3-4.
While at what has been called a "journalism starship" and a "journalism theme park," hear top-notch speakers and get insights from cutting-edge experts on the challenges facing our industry as well as learn the how-tos of better journalism through the latest technology.
Plan to stay at the nearby Clarendon Hotel, site of the fatal 1976 car-bombing of Arizona Republic reporter Don Bolles. Today the Clarendon is an award-winning boutique hotel whose special rate for SPJ conference attendees will be $129 per night, single or double. Other nearby hotels will be available at comparable rates.
