What Is It?
The Second Annual Journalism Innovations Expo happens April 30 and May 1 in McLaren Hall at the University of San Francisco. It's a unique colloquium, public dialoge and exposition that will explore real ideas and work that's creating the future of journalism TODAY.

Last year's event brought more than two hundred participants to our venue in Sunnyvale; In 2009, Journalism Innovations comes to USF's green and highly accessible campus for another breakthrough gathering!

Who Will Attend?
Based on last year's robust turnout, we expect hundreds of journalism advocates, practitioners, academics and researchers, technologists, producers, students and aspirants, managers and executives, plus critics and citizen media-makers of all stripes.

This is an impactful extremely diverse community of current and emerging leaders and practitioners in this fast-changing field.

Why Should I Sponsor?
Journalism Innovations II will provide you with high-visibility placement for your message, service, idea and organization before a diverse, multi-generational audience of new and emerging journalism practitioners and leaders.

Nonprofits, schools, service and advocacy groups, social ventures and garage startups -- all are welcome to sponsor the Expo, and spread the word about their good works to a select community of journalism leaders, educators, advocates and practitioners. Call 415-677-9877 for details.
