Sneak in a discounted hotel room
You still may be able to get a discounted room in the hotel attached to the site of the Midwest workshop on Saturday, the Davenport Radisson. You can get a room for $89 instead of the normal $150 or so. But you have to call quickly, because if the hotel can sell the rooms at the bigger rate for other people, they will.
Again, the workshop will be held at the River Center in Davenport, Iowa, which is attached to the Davenport Radisson (www.radisson.com/davenportia). Tell the hotel you're with the American Copy Editors Society conference to get the special room rate.
I'm afraid I won't be able to go to the workshop, but you'll see other ACES stalwarts there. Speakers include Chris Wienandt, business copy desk chief at the Dallas Morning News and president of ACES; Ron Smith, features copy desk chief of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel; Teresa Schmedding, senior news editor of the Daily Herald and ACES board member; Chris Courtney, design director for Red Eye in Chicago; and Brittany Volk of the Daily Iowan. Session content will range from headlines and critical editing to design and sentence diagramming.
Remember you can sign up at the door for the workshop, $25 for members and $35 for nonmembers. Swing on by!
