 The 2009 Campus Progress National Conference: Delivering ChangeJuly 8, 2009 at the Omni Shoreham Hotel in Washington D.C.
You organized in your community. You registered voters. You voted. Progressives won. Now what?
At the fifth annual Campus Progress National Conference, to be held on July 8, 2009, in Washington DC, hundreds of young people will come together to address the task of Delivering Change. They will discuss the critical challenges our generation faces, and to develop the ideas, networks, and innovations that will help us meet those challenges.
Our generation has a real opportunity to deliver change – to move the country in a strongly progressive direction. Just as our hard work was essential to bringing progressive results in 2008, we need to stay dedicated to working for progressive change, to pressing government for action, to ensuring an economic recovery effort that advances opportunity for all. At the Campus Progress National Conference, we’ll come together and prove we’re serious about a progressive future, and we’re not letting anyone stand in our way.

Want to be a better journalist?
On Thursday, July 9, 2009 (one day after the main conference), Campus Progress will be teaming up with The Nation to provide a day-long conference on journalism. The conference will feature distinguished and diverse journalists and intriguing topics that really matter to those wanting to make it in the world of journalism.
Here’s a few highlights:
- A panel on the future of journalism (Web 2.0, anyone?) with journalists from The Nation and The Huffington Post
- A workshop on beat reporting on topics from foreign policy to the economy to urban issues, including (among many) Juliet Eilperin, environmental correspondent for The Washington Post.
- Hands-on workshops on everything from magazine writing (with Kai Wright) to investigative journalism (with Esther Kaplan, investigative editor at The Nation), and many more.
And, like everything else Campus Progress offers, it is free.
