More major conferences are now online
When a door closes, hacks and hackers, another one opens! Recently ONA announced its 2020 conference will be happening online. Not only that, but the event has been spread out over the first two weeks of October, so you can attend while balancing other needs in your life.
The AI for Good Summit followed a similar principle. Instead of attending the summit in Switzerland, you can register for an ongoing series of talks and interactive discussions.
And if you're a Russian speaker, School of Data Kyrgyzstan is hosting an online data journalism conference later this week.
Updated events:
- JournoCon has been canceled
- National Native Media Conference has been canceled
- AI for Good Summit is now online
- Online News Association Conference is now online
