The NPA Summit Program

We just published our full program schedule, so take a look at what we have planned for this year! This program includes hands-on sessions and activities like master classes, global discussions, social chats, and more.

Our program will take shape around:

• Talks - Keynote talks that will create a common foundation to build on during conversations.

• Sessions - Participatory sessions create space to get into the biggest problems facing journalism and product—together. Community members will facilitate peer conversations and hands-on workshops that draw on the experience of every attendee in the (Zoom) room. Each session block will have multiple sessions to choose from.

• Meetups & group conversations in the NPA Slack - The NPA Slack will be a place for emergent conversations and sharing of resources and job openings. We'll also have time for social sessions about hobbies and interests outside of work.

The News Product Alliance Summit is an interactive conference, where everyone who attends actively participates throughout the event. It includes hands-on sessions and activities like master classes, global discussions, social chats, and more. For more information on what to expect as a participant, check out our participation guide.

As in the past, this year's Summit will be based around two core tracks: support and practice. We want to expand what that means this year:

• support is who you meet, how you build those relationships

• practice is what you do and how you get it done

We know from our community survey that finding your peers is a top priority for many NPA community members. The visual designers are looking to meet the other visual designers. There are faculty educators who want to welcome new adjuncts. There are executives seeking peers from their lonely perch at the top. This year's summit will include more wayfinding opportunities to ensure everyone is able to find folks they feel community with.

Last year’s NPA Summit brought together more than 480 news product thinkers to share ideas, co-create best practices for the news industry and learn new product skills. "I learned so much from the programming itself, but more importantly, from the community of people who were eager to share resources, experiences, links, data, words of wisdom, opportunities, and so much more," one participant told us.
