Campus Progress Southern Regional Conference

Atlanta, Georgia
Friday, February 6, 2009 - Sunday, February 8, 2009

Campus Progress is hosting our first ever Southern Regional Conference at Morehouse College in Atlanta, Georgia from February 6-8, 2009! In addition to our summer national conference held each year in Washington, DC, we are adding an annual regional conference for both journalists and activists. This event couldn't come at a better time - fresh off the heels of an amazing election. This event will bring together over 200 of the brightest students and young people, including campus organizers, bloggers and journalists from all over the South, for three days of networking, training, and skills-building.

There will be both a journalism track and an activism track at the regional conference.

  • Network with other organizers about key issues
