THE PEOPLE BESIDE YOU MATTER, TOO

Some of the most useful conversations won’t have a session title.

They will happen over breakfast, in roundtables and receptions, and in the few minutes between sessions when someone says, “We tried that, too.” Local News Solutions makes room for those conversations on purpose.

The program brings people together. The room is where the work keeps moving.

A FEW OF THE PEOPLE IN THE ROOM

Different kinds of expertise. One gathering.

The program includes 82 speakers, facilitators and contributors. These nine faces suggest the range, from reporting and public media to philanthropy, revenue, data, the arts and civic life.
