AJPA's Happy Hour: Toasting the Good
After the year we’ve been through, we can all use some good cheer. We kick off our virtual conference with real l’chayims featuring AJPA’s 2021 Signature Cocktail (coming soon) or your favorite drink. Along with our media outlets celebrating special anniversaries, we invite everyone to share toasts to those things that have gone right for us over the past year, personally and professionally.

11:00 am - 12:00 pm EST

What to publish? Walking the line between offending and reporting 
It’s an easy question to answer. And it’s not an easy question to answer. We’ll offer some food for thought with this panel of experts that will help you decide on when to publish that story and when not to as well as understand guidelines and policies that you may want in place. Do you have specific stories that raised questions for you? How did you handle them?
