Meet the editors in a different format this year:

Come hear top print and online editors spill the beans on exactly what they look for in a freelance pitch, then put that info to use. This is your chance to pitch — and get immediate, on-the-spot feedback from — top editors at High Country News, Men's Journal, Mother Jones, Nature, Outside,Scientific American,_and _Smithsonian.

The session will provide a unique window into the assignment process, whether you pitch a story or not.
