And expense won’t be an excuse for not attending: It’s absolutely free. You don’t even have to be a member of the Society for News Design in order to attend.

They’ll begin the day at 9:30 a.m. Four speakers, all geared toward the needs of small-and-medium-sized newspapers:

RICHARD CURTIS
Retired managing editor/design, USA Today
Topic: How People Learn In Different Ways

MONTY COOK
Editor, the Baltimore Sun
Topic: The Three E’s of the New Media
Landscape: Embrace, Engage and Expand

DON WITTEKIND
Journalism professor, UNC-Chapel Hill
Topic: Multimedia on the Cheap: Low-cost,
easy ways to add rich content to web sites

WILLIAM PITZER
News graphics editor, the Charlotte Observer
Topic: Five ideas that anyone can use for
visualizing information in print and online

The last presentation will end around 1:30. Then, they’ll have an informal lunch during which you can ask questions, network and generally rub elbows with this all-star panel.

So four dynamite speakers and no cost or obligation whatsoever. What’s the catch?

There are only 30 seats left. So sign up now. Do that by contacting John Josey, managing editor of the Lenoir News-Topic at jjosey [at] newstopic.net or Richard himself at lakehouse2 [at] cox.net
