Our meeting is a time to celebrate the Palmetto State’s commitment to outstanding journalism! Come have a good time and get re-energized about the important work you do to serve your readers every day.

This year’s convention will feature educational and networking events including a kick-off party, training sessions, Executive Committee Meeting, Family-Owned Newspaper Retreat Breakfast and our highlight event – the News Contest Awards Presentation and Hall of Fame Luncheon, which recognize the best and brightest in newspaper journalism.
