ONA25 will be held Sept. 10-13 in New Orleans. We are excited to share how we are approaching the day-to-day schedule to help you when considering travel arrangements.
A first look at the ONA25 programming will be released in early June. The schedule will continuously populate through August as we finalize session details and confirm many opportunities to learn and connect with each other, including big-idea plenaries, hands-on training and networking meetups.
More details to come about:
- Additional RSVP deep-dive workshop sessions on Wednesday and Saturday of conference week (Registered attendees will receive details via email on how to RSVP for these select sessions as they become available. To make sure you get future emails about your ONA25 pass and other conference updates, add registration@journalists.org and newsletter@journalists.org to your contacts)
- Plenary speaker announcements
- Special receptions and meal events, plus guides on fun things to explore in and around the conference
All times are listed in UTC–5, Central Daylight Time.
