Professional Development Day, a career development event for science writers, has been DCSWA’s signature event since 2006. Every year, over 100 science reporters, PIOs, editors, radio and video producers, and freelancers gather for a fun and exciting day of networking and skill-building.
Please join us on Saturday, May 4th, from 8:30 am - 4:00 pm at George Washington University's Student Center on the 3rd floor.
Our full-day event will include a keynote talk, panel discussions and workshops geared toward both journalists and PIOs, lunch with local scientists, a writer-editor meet and greet, and a happy hour. We will also have live streaming — with dedicated specialist support — for those who want to attend the talk and panel discussions virtually.
Coffee, breakfast pastries and lunch will be provided. There will also be an in-person raffle of science books.
We are excited for our slate of programming (more details to come in the next couple of weeks!) and hope to see you on May 4th.
