The SPJ Region 9 Annual Convention, Sept. 16, 2023 in Albuquerque

Borders, water, abortion and the future of journalism — New Mexico sits at the crossroads of the biggest stories of our time and of our profession. So there’s no better place to discuss and debate how we can cover these historic and contentious issues in ways that make sense for where we live and work here.

Join us on Sept. 16 for a day-long, lightning-fast convention at the Albuquerque Journal building (in Albuquerque!) for discussions on:

  • Abortion
  • The southern border
  • Human boundaries: Bridging the gap between communities Native borders
  • Water in a drying land
  • Wildfires and their management
  • New publishing possibilities for an evolving news world

Breakfast and lunch are included in the cost!

Join us at the Journal to learn, debate, meet old friends and colleagues, and make some new ones from across Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, West Texas and The Land of Enchantment (New Mexico, natch).

Get your tickets today! Space is limited.
