Submit your ideas now for the 2018 CAR Conference

Our annual data journalism conference will be taking place March 8-11, 2018 in Chicago — and we want your input!

Use this form to share ideas, suggestions and other comments you think will help us plan the best possible conference. The only required field is your contact information (in case we want to follow up). No suggestion is too small.

Here are a few ways you can use this form:

• Share a speaker suggestion (you or someone else)
• Suggest a panel you’d like to attend
• Tell us about a topic, skill or piece of software you’d like to see covered
• Pitch an entire session (topic, speakers, title, etc.)
• Tell us about a session you loved at a past conference or workshop and hope to see again in Chicago
• Share your suggestions for making the conference a more inclusive environment for all attendees

Have several ideas? Great! Feel free to fill out the form as many times as you’d like. And help us spread the word by sharing this form with friends and colleagues.

Make sure to get your ideas in by Sept. 22.

Please direct questions to conference@ire.org.
