This year we're going virtual!

The Association of Alternative Newsmedia is shifting to a virtual presentation of our traditional annual conference for 2020. Our mission remains the same - to showcase the inspirational, thoughtful, and practical sessions and speakers that help our member papers not only create great journalism today but also to plan for the future.

AANovation 2020 will include three days of top-notch programming in late September 2020 and we’re adding one month of special weekly programming that will kick off in late August 2020. One conference price includes access to all programming PLUS access for all paper staff members. Special member pricing for AANovation 2020 is $299 and includes access for all members of your staff. AANovation 2020 programming is designed to be both inspirational and immediately helpful to your team today!

Join us as we hear from some of the brightest minds in journalism right now, along with special guests that are especially pertinent in this Covid-19 and US election year - plus, we’ll be hosting all of the great practical programming that our members expect. It's AANovation 2020!
