ConvergeSouth Press Credentials
No press credentials will be authorized after October 10, 2008
Please register for the conference and note "press" in the description area.
ConvergeSouth is unlike most conferences you have covered. In a hands-on leader-led method, this year's ConvergeSouth will bring practical tools to attendees. The former audience now becomes the group leaders. There is no 'lecture' at ConvergeSouth. Everyone joins in and discussion leaders will encourage everyone to participate.
This is new media.
For old media types, we have press credentials. Please read the following.

III. The Conference
What are the most interesting aspects of the conference to cover?
There are dozens of stories just waiting to be reported at ConvergeSouth. Part of your fun will be to decide which of these aspects are the best fit for your publication and its audience. Some recommendations are the Saturday "how-to" conference sessions, the NORGS meeting, and of course the conference's Saturday night downtown in Greensboro.
Is there is a "Press Room" at A&T?
We will use a computer lab this year that gives you Internet access. You're free to use it all day. The Register, the NC A&T State University newspaper, will host the press during the confernece.
I would like to have some advance interviews with some of the top speakers at this year's event. What is the best way for me to contact these people?
For contact information, email Dr. Sue Polinsky (admin@convergesouth.com) with a list of people you would like to interview and she will try to get you in touch with them. The sooner you email, the easier it will be to coordinate. Interviews can be conducted via email, phone or other interactive means.
This is our fourth year. We're enjoying rewriting history.
