ACP returns to San Francisco

The ACP Spring National College Media Conference is headed to the Bay this spring. Presented by ACP, JACC and CCMA, this conference brings together collegiate journalists and advisers from across California and across the nation, with helpful sessions, critiques, advice and feedback.

Our sessions focus
on topics you need 

This year’s conference has a special focus on journalism that bridges gaps and unites communities. From sessions on mental health to reporting on traumatic events to covering undercovered communities, we are excited to learn with you.

The conference will also feature sessions on topics including advertising, leadership, editing, yearbook planning and so much more.

We’ll include the fundamentals and then focus on the latest trends in the fast-changing environment of collegiate journalism and media.

Leading our dozens of sessions will be experienced journalism professionals and award-winning advisers — speakers whose expertise can help you at your skill level.

Want to present in San Francisco? 

We also welcome your ideas for session topics at the ACP spring conference. The deadline to submit is Feb. 6, 2026.
