She'll talk about the challenges of driving change in an organization with journalists in 260 locations around the world and why it's important to insist on constant innovation while keeping a firm grasp on your core mission, a formula that has worked for The Associated Press for 170 years.

3. Marty Baron, The Washington Post's executive editor

Sign up now for two pre-conference workshops. They're FREE!
1. Tools and Techniques for Digital Success: Lessons from the Knight-Temple "Table Stakes" Project
From 1 to 4 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 11, find out whether your newsroom is truly digital-first and positioned to compete for audiences during this pre-conference workshop focused on what it takes to be "in the game of news" in the 21st century. Join project leader Douglas K. Smith and leaders from the four participating newsrooms to learn key questions you should be asking about your newsroom operation and culture, what kind of commitment is needed to transition, and how to use tools and techniques created during the project.
2. Google Tools for Your Newsrooms
From 1 to 3 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 11, learn about all of the free Google tools that can help your newsroom build interactive charts, maps, visualizations and more. Tools covered will include Google Trends, Fusion Tables, MyMaps, Earth, Moon, Google Translate and more. Google also can provide free training in your newsroom. Session materials can be found here.
Both workshops, which require advance registration, are free to those registered to attend the conference. The "Table Stakes" workshop has limited space and is available on a first-come, first-served basis. The Google workshop has no limit on audience size. To sign up for either workshop, email ASNE Communications Coordinator Jiyoung Won at jwon@asne.org.
How we did it: Behind the scenes of 'Unbelievable Story of Rape'
  T. Christian Miller at ProPublica and Ken Armstrong at The Marshall Project, winners of the 2016 Pulitzer Prize in Explanatory Reporting, as well as the ASNE Deborah Howell Award for Nondeadline Writing, will tell us how their remarkable project "Unbelievable Story of Rape" came together.
Party like it's 1776 with one of the founding fathers
Join us at 6 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 11, at the National Constitution Center (525 Arch St.), for the opening party! Ralph Archbold, the official Ben Franklin for Philly, will be there to offer advice on running a newspaper. Archbold has been impersonating Franklin since 1973, and interestingly enough, he was born on Franklin's birthday.
Enjoy the cocktails and South Philly favorites from Italian meats and cheeses to grilled vegetable skewers to cheese steaks to chicken cutlet sandwiches to Italian hoagies and much more.
