I’m always impressed with the participation level we get at ACES conferences. This year I’ve met more people in all types of copy editing jobs who want to get involved in what ACES does than ever before.
Also, there was definitely more tweeting at this conference than ever before. Tweeting AP Stylebook decisions as they were being announced was a social media highlight.
And while I have the chance, thanks to Chris Wienandt and Deirdre Edgar for their many, many efforts on behalf of ACES as outgoing president and vice president/conferences. Also, thanks and good luck to incoming president Teresa Schmedding and incoming vice president/conferences Lisa McLendon for all the work they’ve done so far and all they’ll do in the future.
The conference may be over for this year (except for the karaoke), but the efforts on behalf of the copy editing profession continue daily. Look for much more coverage of the 2010 conference in the May-June ACES newsletter (plug, plug).
Can’t wait until 2011 in Phoenix!
