Your sports section need some big ideas? Florida is the place to find them. The Sunshine State is home to some of the greatest events, brightest stars and biggest stories in sports. And the competition to cover them can make UF vs. FSU look like an intramural flag football game. The papers here consistently produce some of the deepest, most dynamic sports sections in the country. Our Quick Course speakers will give you an inside look at how these departments work, and the techniques that make them so successful. Plus, the first 25 people to register get a pair of game-worn Shaq sneakers!*
Here's a look at the tentative schedule for a day jam-packed with great sports design ideas:
8:30-9:15 > REGISTRATION / COFFEE / WELCOME
9:15-10:15 > PLAYING BIG AT A SMALL PAPER with Paul Wallen
The Sun Journal — circulation 35,000 — consistently produces work that many larger papers would envy. Wallen, their ME/Visuals, explains how hustle and planning help them play up.
10:30-11:45 > THE CLUTCH HITTER with Chris Courtney
