For better or for worse, most of our readers live in relative proximity to Cleveland. I urge you to check this event out:

It's also on the calendar at right.

You'll want the information this event provides. You might not want it now, but you'll want it when you're trying to argue with veteran newspaper reporters about why they need to adapt. You'll want it when you're interviewing for a job. You'll want it when you're trying to convince your editor to send you on that cool assignment. This stuff comes in handy.
