AG MEDIA SUMMIT 2010 |
|
|
The Agricultural Media Summit (AMS) is a joint meeting of the American Agricultural Editors' Association, Livestock Publications Council and American Business Media Agri Council. We'll be rolling on the river in July 2010. For those of you unfamiliar with upper Midwest geography, St. Paul is a landmark city that has more miles of shoreline (26, to be exact) than any other town along the mighty Mississippi River. Below is general information. Check www.agmediasummit.com for updated information in the coming months.

Photo Workshop Kicks Off AMS This Summer
A two-day photography workshop will be held on July 24-25, 2010, prior to the Agricultural Media Summit (AMS) in St. Paul, Minn. We're building an intense learning session that will give attendees instruction from professional photographers in real-world shooting environments. And because we're teaming up the workshop as a kickoff to the AMS, we are offering this impressive program at a tremendous value.
The workshop starts with a general roundtable discussion on Friday evening, July 23. Saturday and Sunday, July 24-25, will be two full days of hands-on training, in-field photography, group review sessions and expert feedback. We'll wrap up Sunday evening, in time for the AMS welcome reception!
Cost for the two-day session is $200 ($300 for those not attending AMS), and you will be responsible for lodging and dinner Saturday night.
Most important is that SPACE IS STRICTLY LIMITED, and we will close registration on May 3. Reserve your space by contacting dianej@flash.net. Additional details will be provided this spring.
