We accept pitches through the Suggestion Box, our way of generating ideas from the community to help us organize a great conference. Anyone can submit a proposal.<\/p>\n<p>Each year, we aim to share best practices, practical tips and inspiring talks for journalists, executives, sales teams, educators, students and anyone else working in digital media.<\/p>\n<p>As always, we\u2019re looking to pull in fresh, creative ideas.

ONA will often ask presenters to refine their proposals or combine their ideas with other presenters to address a single topic.
