3. The Tool Shed
What are the key technological tools that you can implement to make your newsroom more effective and efficient? Are you using the right ones? ASNE and APME have whittled down the list of competing companies and have invited the best ones to Austin to explain why other newsrooms have hired them and why you should, too. Editors will have the opportunity to ask questions about the product. You will leave with a far greater understanding of how technology can make you a better editor.

4. Proof of Concept: One Tool You Must Know About Right Now
Improvements in transcription software technology have made this an indispensable item for newsrooms seeking to improve the efficiency of their writers and video teams. No more hours spent painfully transcribing long interviews. One of the leaders in the field, battle tested at The Washington Post among others, is Trint.
Confirmed speaker: Jeffrey Kofman, president, Trint
5. Hollywood and You
Your newsroom creates thousands of pieces of valuable intellectual property each week, and publishers are moving quickly to better control and monetize it. The New York Times is partnering with a production company. POLITICO signed with ICM. McClatchy, The Washington Post, The Guardian, Daily Beast and NPR are represented by Storied Media Group in Hollywood. We'll explain the newest revenue stream and how you can capitalize on it.
Confirmed speaker: Todd Hoffman, CEO, Storied Media Group
