Mark your calendars now! On April 15-16, the Rio Grande and University of New Mexico Student chapters of SPJ will be hosting the Region 9 conference in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

The conference will include speakers such as Robert Hernandez and Fred Brown and feature a variety of panels and workshops including: digital security, covering elections, crunching numbers, “backpack journalism” and multimedia, covering the environment and Indian Country, diversity — and much more!

The conference will be held at the University of New Mexico–and our event hotel is Hotel Parq Central (which includes free shuttle service and free breakfast). When making your hotel reservations, be sure to mention SPJ to get the group rate.
