Conferences

MTJA Active and Associate members have the opportunity to attend two conferences each year — one in the spring and one in fall. Destinations vary from Midwestern sites within our 13-state membership area to farther locales throughout the United States; all conferences also include opportunities for pre- and post-tours.

MTJA Active Members write for nearly 300 publications, blogs and broadcasts, including major magazines such as Midwest Living, AAA Publications and National Geographic Traveler; newspapers including the New York Times, Chicago Tribune, USA Today and Minneapolis Star Tribune; and blogs. Many members also post and contribute frequently to new and social media including Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter and Instagram.

Host an Upcoming Conference

I love my MTJA membership for so many reasons. Professionally, I have made solid, fruitful connections with amazing writers, editors and photographers. I’ve also met some really creative, talented PR professionals who’ve given me so many ideas to learn from. Our conference hosts work very diligently to plan our meetings in their cities. I feel grateful for this giant MTJA family!
