Tickets are limited, so reserve your space as soon as you can.
A photographer will also be available for professional headshots for your LinkedIn profiles or website bios.
You get all this for free if you're a full, associate or student member of AAJA, NABJ/SABJ or SPJ. Tickets for the general public are $30.
