DC Conferencing 5
Oct23
In 9 hours time I will be sitting on a panel at a United Press International (UPI) conference about the “next 100 years of media and journalism”. Looking very much forward to the day, with a truly impressive line up of speakers.
It’s going to be held at the Ronald Reagan Building in Washington DC where I was disappointed to learn that wifi costs $12.95 for the day (live-bloggers bring your credit cards). The organizers advise casual business attire and comfortable shoes (ok) and emphasize that “Weapons are not allowed in the building”. I am glad. Because there is nothing worse than a boring Power Point presentation when there are weapons in the building.
Oh God, UPI. I worked with them this summer, the guy in charge of their photo archive is Cra-zy. He is also a moonie. Half of the people with power in Washington are secretly moonies. Beware. You can’t say I didn’t warn you.
