Event Details

Event title

No more than ~15 words.

We are looking for a witty and descriptive title that would grab an attendee’s attention as they are scrolling through the agenda to figure out which sessions to attend.

Event description

Limiting to ~50 words is ideal; no more than 200 words total.

If on the longer side, an easy structure to consider: 2-3 sentences describing the focus of the session followed by 2-3 sentences or bullets for what attendees will learn/consider by the end of the session.

Target audience (optional)

Up to three types of audience members who would benefit the most from attending this session.

An example from a previous year to help explain: * Editors looking to refresh their content management workflows to prioritize what their newsrooms need most.

* Journalists trying to organize content syndication across multiple channels and platforms, keeping SEO, metrics, and revenue in mind.

* Technologists managing tools for everything from breaking news to longform series to daily stories to editorial calendars.

Speaker Details

Sponsors sometimes like to list one or two speakers with their reception details. This is not required. Would like to list one or two speakers with the event details?

A

Yes

B

No

RSVP Details

This section will help ONA target and invite the attendees you hope to reach in Atlanta. Your event includes 100 drink tickets and passed appetizers for 100. Please take into account any staff or guests that you would like to attend as they must be on the guest list as well.

Please note: All attendees for this event must be registered and badged for ONA24, regardless of the length of time they will spend at the event.

Of the 100 attendee spots available, how many spots would like ONA to make available through the attendee RSVP process?

ONA will set-up an RSVP system for your event that can fill up all 100 attendee spots, or a smaller number of spots to allow you to personally invite ONA24 attendees (for example, the RSVP system can accept 75 attendee seats, leaving you 25 seats that you can invite personally). Regardless of the number of seats you set aside, ONA will also set up a waitlist once that number is reached. As the host of this event, you will receive both the RSVP and waitlist information.

Would you like ONA to send an invitation to a filtered list of conference attendees?

The moment your event's RSVP process goes live, ONA can send a targeted invitation to a filtered list of ONA24 attendees based on your preferences, making them the first to learn about and sign up to attend. Historically, these invitations immediately fill up the available spots (which varies depending on the number of spots you've set aside). You can opt not to send a targeted note, instead opening it to all ONA24 attendees who will receive a notification that additional RSVP opportunities have opened, including your event.

A

No, we would like this event to be open to all ONA24 attendees from the moment it opens.

B

No, we plan to invite guests ourselves and do not want to make the option to RSVP public.

C

Yes

Please select the attendee categories you would like to use as filters for building the invitation list.

The more categories you select, the less targeted the list will be.
