It\u2019s time to plan your trip to the 2013 Online News Association Conference & Awards Banquet, Oct. 17-19, 2013 in Atlanta<\/a><\/strong>, where we\u2019re planning to blow up the traditional conference agenda for digital journalism\u2019s biggest reunion.<\/p>\n

Expect some surprises and new experiences this year. For the first time, we\u2019re folding in our Thursday hands-on workshops and Job Fair to make three full days of conferencing, so one price will get you into any session or workshops, the Midway, and career development resources. Look for more details on programming when registration opens April 29.<\/p>\n

And then there\u2019s ATL<\/span>: ONA13 will tap into the history, culture and funk of Atlanta\u2019s diverse neighborhoods. Check out the stylish boutiques and laid-back bars in Virginia-Highland, live jazz in Castleberry Hill, and Little Five Points with its alternative shopping, bars, restaurants and even an Elvis shrine at the Star Community Bar. And don\u2019t miss Cabbagetown, an emerging area which Travel + Leisure magazine featured in \u201cAmerica\u2019s Best Secret Neighborhoods.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nHere\u2019s a guide to who\u2019s running the show, where you can stay and how much you should budget.<\/p>\n

\nGet ready to register for ONA13 on April 29!<\/h2>\n

\nJoin us Oct. 17-19<\/strong> for three packed days of programming exploring the most exciting trends in journalism, all included in your one-time ONA13 registration. (Any sessions or related parties outside the hotel will be a separate registration, as always.) And look for an even bigger, more interactive Midway, where we\u2019ll create a lively playground full of tools and journalism innovators.<\/p>\n

\nWith hotel costs rising every year, we\u2019re forced to raise registration fees for the first time in six years. But we\u2019re offsetting the increase by giving you lots more for your money \u2014 three full days of sessions, training, career development and the Midway, plus the low hotel rate of $139. The Online Journalism Awards Banquet now will also be a separate low registration fee to allow us to keep an accurate count of attendees.<\/p>\n

\nOnce registration opens on April 29<\/strong>, we\u2019ll also be extending the period for the lowest registration rate to two months. The sooner you register, the lower your fee.<\/p>\n

\nAs past attendees know, ONA13 passes sell out quickly, so plan to get yours early.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
