Two of my favorite upcoming conference websites are SXSW & ONA.
The SXSW conference site is slick. In particular, watch what happens when you click on ‘SCHEDULE‘ and then on one of the events… It asks if you want to ‘View Event Details’ and ‘Add to Your Schedule.’
Also, ONA added a “Session Selector” that allows members to help plan the conference:
The Online News Association is seeking your participation in planning sessions forONA10, Oct. 28-30, in Washington, D.C.
All proposals will be for ONA10 general sessions on Friday, Oct. 29 and Saturday, Oct. 30.
Submit your session proposals from Feb. 4 through Feb. 28. Then, from March 2 through March 21, the community will vote on sessions they would like to see this fall.
We’ve outlined the process and expectations below. This is the first year for this community-based system, so bear with us as we iron out the kinks, and e-mailONA10program@journalists.org with questions or comments.
