I’m off to Gainesville, Florida, tomorrow morning (taking BART to SFO Airport at 4:14 am — ugh) for three days, so won’t be checking email and will only sporadically update this blog. Here’s the event:
The Third Annual Symposium on Converged Journalism at the University of Florida.
Conference details (Flash required).
When: Thursday, April 1, 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Where: Reitz Union Auditorium/Cinema, 2nd floor, University of Florida campus, Gainesville, FL
What: Meet and mingle with working journalists from a variety of professional backgrounds and hear what they have to say about the world of online journalism today. Students and others are encouraged to talk one-on-one with these professionals and to ask questions in a public forum.
Cost: Free. Everyone is welcome, and you can come and go at any time during the day.
Panels:
9 – 10 a.m.: How Broadcast, Online and Print Journalists Work Together

I’ll be moderating the panel on blogging and journalism. Panelists are Sheila Lennon of projo.com, Kevin Roderick of LA Observed and Jennifer Balderama of the Washington Post.
You can see bios of each speaker here (PDF).
Elizabeth Spiers and Dirck Halstead, publisher of The Digital Journalist photojournalism magazine, will also be speaking, I’ll be assessing students’ resumes with Mark Glaser, and Dave Winer and Buzz Bruggemann (who’s driving down from Orlando) will be in the audience. Sounds like fun.
