Join us in Austin, TX to gain practical, how-to advice and information that will inform how you do your job the minute you step back on your campus; review creative ideas and inspiration that you can channel into your magazine, your office, and your individual work; get refreshed and invigorated so you can be the best magazine editor you can be; and expand your peer network with colleagues at peer institutions, freelance writers and editors, design/printing/paper/digital vendors you may want to call on to improve your magazine efforts.

Beyond the plenary and elective sessions, there'll be plenty of opportunities to talk informally with fellow editors-to compare notes, swap stories, and pick up new ideas. The Magazine Exchange, breakfast roundtables, the evening "Dine-Arounds", and networking reception are always popular options to engage throughout the conference.

You'll come away feeling invigorated and inspired, with a wealth of new ideas and new friends.
