ONA conference attendees are a tech-savvy bunch. They include producers, content editors, technologists, programmers, designers and newsroom decision-makers from major media markets, independent websites and leading academic institutions. They are interested in the latest in software, hardware, content and distribution platforms.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Your exposure<\/strong><br \/>\nWe don\u2019t have a media list for our conference, and there\u2019s a reason. Everyone you will meet is a member of the media, either hailing from a media technology website or thought leaders in their area with robust social networks. Make an impression on an ONA10 attendee and they\u2019ll blog or tweet about it. ONA09 attendees included representatives of ContentNext Media, Macworld\/PC World, MediaBistro, Nieman Journalism Lab, Knight Digital Media Centers at Berkeley, USC and Miami, and Computerworld, to name a few.<\/p>\n<p>And your chance for exposure doesn\u2019t stop when the last attendee leaves.

The whole conference was not \u201cHow we can save journalism,\u201d but more \u201cHow we can create new journalism.\u201d It was about following your passions, whether that takes you to starting a new site, or just moving jobs. \u2026 The question of \u201cWhat comes next?\u201d was met with resounding confidence in the age-old values of journalism and the ways that their practice can be amplified and supported by digital media.<br \/>\n\u2014 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.politicsdaily.com\/2009\/10\/08\/news-biz-alive-and-well-at-online-conference\/\" target=\"_blank\">Frances Tobin, Politicsdaily.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>ONA09 recap<br \/>\n<\/strong>Some highlights from the 2009 Online News Association Conference and Awards Banquet, held Oct. 1-3 at the San Francisco Hilton:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Twitter CEO Evan Williams sat down for a headline-making keynote interview.<\/li>\n<li>Speakers Leo Laporte and BlogHer CEO Lisa Stone shared their inspirational journeys from journalists to entrepreneurs.<\/li>\n<li>Session speakers included cutting-edge industry leaders such as Hoa Loranger of Nielsen Media Group; Krishna Bharat, Google chief scientist and creator of Google News; and Paul Berry, Chief Technology Officer of HuffingtonPost.com.<\/li>\n<li>Our day-long Career Summit featured industry-leading recruiters and career counselors, followed by a Job Fair with recruiters from AOL, Yahoo!, the New York Times, Gannett\/USA TODAY, Demand Studios, Patch Media and Voice of America.<\/li>\n<li>The Online Journalism Awards, the only annual awards competition recognizing the best and the brightest work in digital news, opened new categories to honor technical innovation, outstanding use of digital technologies and community collaboration.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why Sponsor or Exhibit at ONA10?
