The SPJ South Florida and the Florida College Press Association are hosting this year’s Region 3 Convention, and it is sure to be an unconventional affair.  Join us April 3rd & 4th in Hollywood, Florida. The cost is $40, but the experience will be — as the commercial says — PRICELESS.

Here are some of the highlights of the schedule:

• On Friday, April 3rd at 4PM, the conference kicks off with separate meetings of the SPJ and FCPA in a Wine Bar. That’s right, no boring hotel meeting room.
• On Friday night, we play Ethics Holdem’ poker for valuable prizes.
• On Saturday, the convention begins at 9:30 AM at Dave and Buster’s. Again, no boring hotel meeting room.
• On Saturday night, you write, edit, shoot, and design an edition of the Homeless Voices newspaper.
