It takes place at Westin Kansas City Crown Center in Kansas City, Missouri.
The identified audiences include college journalists, advisers and student media.
It is most useful for student journalists and their advisers who want feedback on their work, since the program pairs sessions and workshops with critiques, contests and award presentations such as the ACP Pacemakers and CMA Pinnacles. Staffs shopping for products will find vendors aimed at student media on site, while professional newsroom staff or anyone with no tie to a campus publication would get less from it.
Attendees at college media conventions usually wear business casual, with students often in neat casual clothes and a nicer outfit for awards events, plus comfortable shoes for three days of sessions in a hotel venue.
The organizer characterizes it as the country's largest gathering for college journalists and advisers, but no attendance figure is provided here.
