VIew of Times Square from the Marriott Marquis during the 2010 College Media Advisers convention.

I am off to the Region 1 spring conference in New York City.

The conference, which is being hosted by the Deadline Club, Connecticut, and New Jersey Professional Chapters, is themed, “Surviving the Storm: How to Weather the Tough Times in Journalism.” I am really excited! The conference and the Mark of Excellence Luncheon are sold out!

The planning committee did a great job coordinating all the speakers and receptions.

Speakers include: Sree Sreenivasan, Julia Dahl, Dean Starkman, David Levitt, Andrew DeVigal, Howard Goldberg, Nick Tatro, Santiago Lyon, George Frederick, David Barstow, and many more.

I don’t plan on posting anything to the blog until the conference is over, but you can follow my tweets @aseaman06.
