2019 Convention

See you in New Orleans!

We are excited to announce that in 2019, the American Society of News Editors and the Associated Press Media Editors will be joining forces. With this merger, ASNE and APME will become NLA, the News Leaders Association. This is an exciting time and our new organization will continue to advocate for strong leadership, a diverse and inclusive workforce and defend against challenges to the First Amendment. We ask that you join us and provide your expertise and leadership as we move forward this year.
 
The 2018 ASNE-APME conference in Austin, Texas was a big success. This year, we'll be in New Orleans, Louisiana, Sept. 9-10. Registration for the 2019 News Leaders Association Conference is open. Register now!

We have an electronic schedule available here that will be continuously updated as we get closer to #NLAinNOLA.
