Register online before the deadline to reserve your space.

This year's conference, held at the St. Louis Union Station Marriott, offers dozens of hands-on training sessions for beginners to journalists on the cutting edge of digital reporting. In addition to the full schedule of training, this year's conference will feature a 12-hour "Liberate the data" hack-a-thon with ScraperWiki, presentation of the Philip Meyer Award and much more. Come out a day early for a free training seminar on tracking companies' influence in politics, presented by the Donald W. Reynolds National Center for Business Journalism.
