From our annual national conference to training days and conferences around the country, we aim to present a range of affordable and useful events for student journalists.
We organise everything. To give you a flavour of what we offer, in the past year we’ve put together:
- National Conferences: The highlight of our year, #SPANC descends on one university a year for a weekend full of workshops, speakers, awards and networking.
- Masterclasses: Want to become an overnight expert? We host one-off classes in popular topics.
- Online Streams: Live web seminars to get you up to speed on a range of topics.
Here are our upcoming events:
- SPA Regional Awards and Training Weekend, January 2023
- Introduction to Substack with keynote speaker Farrah Storr, 19 January 2023
