Our Annual Meeting format plan—alternating annually between virtual and in-person meetings—represents positive climate action and equitable learning opportunities for member press staff.

At in-person conferences, we decrease materials usage with online-only programs and linen-less banquet tables, and we ask attendees to bring their own tote bags rather than manufacturing new ones.
