From the people I met, to the sessions I attended, to the contacts I made all of it was even better than I d imagined. i Janet Sasson Edgette, Psy.D. i I love the ASJA conference. Its strength is its New York location, with some of the most important editors in the United States only a few blocks from most of the meetings, it s a great way to expand your contacts. The quality and enthusiasm of the fellow attendees is great. ASJA s annual conference is the best way to meet new editors looking to hire freelancers and network with your colleagues. i Michael Luongo, NY i I came away with more than 30 action items, ranging from follow-ups with personal pitch editors to setting up a Twitter profile for my blog. Very practical advice. i Barbara Krasner, NJ i I have never been to a better conference, with friendlier people, everyone went out of their way to make you feel at home. The sessions were incredible, I wish I could have cloned myself to go to more. Thank you all. i Charlene Smith, NH Concurrent morning afternoon panels rated from beginning to advanced, some for all levels. Luncheon, keynote speaker, networking.
