We know many of you are still waiting to see how 2009 progresses before spending money on conference travel, so we’re happy to announce we’re extending the Early Bird registration<\/a> for the Online News Association Conference & Awards Banquet for another 28 days.<\/p>\n

From now through Aug. 28, you can register at the $399 member rate or the $699 non-member rate. On Aug. 29, registration goes up to $599 for members and $899 for non-members. Student rates are unaffected. (Not a member? ONA’s annual membership is just $75 and saves you $300. Join now<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

During the next month we’ll be updating the conference program<\/a> with more session details and the great speakers and panelists who will be joining us in San Francisco.<\/p>\n

However, those who register before 11:59 p.m. ET on July 31<\/strong> (that’s Friday) will be entered in a drawing to win a Flip Mino video camera, courtesy of our friends at Reuters. (Visit ONAConference.org<\/a> for details.) Already registered for the conference? Consider yourself eligible.<\/p>\n

The winner will be announced via e-mail the week of Aug. 6. If you don’t see your name, you’ll have another shot at the conference, where two more Flip Minos will be up for grabs.<\/p>\n
