The <b>programming<\/b> aspect features a series of curated panels and deep dives about topics that are important to the ONA community. Sessions take place throughout the three days of ONA18 and highlight Midway participants in their areas of expertise. These sessions are explicitly not advertorials, but rather moderated opportunities to hear from and interact with experts in their fields.<\/p>\n<p>And now for the drumroll \u2014 please welcome the groups joining us in the ONA18 Midway! <\/p>\n<ul style=\"float:left; width: 44%; margin: 0 3% 20px;\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/vip.wordpress.com\/\">WordPress VIP<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/alley.co\/\">Alley Interactive<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ap.org\/en-us\/\">Associated Press<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.icfj.org\/\">ICFJ<\/a> (International Center for Journalists)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.echobox.com\/\">Echobox<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fourkitchens.com\/\">Four Kitchens<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.insta360.com\/\">Insta360<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/krzana.com\/\">Krzana<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/stre.am\/\">Stre.am<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/trint.com\/\">Trint<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vubblepop.com\/\">Vubble<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wearehearken.com\/\">Hearken<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/innocode.com\/\">Innocode<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/iris.tv\/\">IRIS.TV<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul style=\"float:left; width: 44%; margin: 0 3% 20px;\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/maps4news.com\/\">Maps4News<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/publicgood.com\/\">Public Good<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/getwemap.com\/\">Wemap<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/adledger.org\/\">AdLedger<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.alertme.news\/\">AlertMe<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/blockthrough.com\/\">Blockthrough<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.canecto.com\/\">Canecto<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/data.world\/\">Data.world<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/flourish.studio\/\">Flourish<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/hindsightsolutions.net\/\">Hindsight Technology Solutions<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/madnetwork.io\/\">MAD Network<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/readefined.com\/\">Readefined<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.recroom.io\/\">RecRoom<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/staffwriter.co\/\">StaffWriter<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/vigilant.cc\/\">Vigilant Web<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I\u2019m thrilled to work with these groups to produce a Midway experience that\u2019s both productive and fun for ONA18 attendees.
