Statehouse Reporting Conference is Aug.4-6 in Columbus, Ohio

The only conference dedicated to covering the challenging and exciting statehouse beat is kicking off in just a few more days, so don't miss out! Capitolbeat 2006 is jam-packed with great speakers, panels and opportunities to trade tips with other statehouse reporters and editors from across the country. Whether you are in print or broadcast, we guarantee you will come away more excited about your job and filled with stellar story ideas. But you have to register to attend!

By signing up, you'll get to attend an opening cocktail reception at the Ohio Statehouse with Gov. Bob Taft on Aug. 3, the Excellence in Statehouse Reporting Awards banquet, and three days of exciting panels, including our popular lounge sessions. You also have a rare opportunity to attend the National Press Foundation's "Opening Washington's Filing Cabinet" seminar, meet with writing coach Stuart Warner or take a class on new computer-assisted reporting tricks. Don't forget our amazing keynote speakers: The Washington Post's David Broder, Adam Clayton Powell, III, and Lucy Dalglish, executive director of the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press.

For those last-minute folks, we've extended the special $99 room rate at our official hotel, the Crowne Plaza, and there are even a few scholarships still available. There is really no reason to miss out. Cheap flights to Columbus are plentiful, and the city is within driving distance for half of the nation's population. Our low conference registration fee ($140 for members, $175 for non-members) includes most meals, so your out-of-pocket costs are extremely minimal.

A full schedule, registration and scholarship applications and more are available now at www.capitolbeat.org, and credit card payments are accepted.
