This year our flagship conference SRCCON turns five and we're excited to bring it back to Minneapolis, Minnesota, on June 28 & 29. This year SRCCON is evolving to embrace new themes and directions and embracing a new approach to attendance that puts participation right at the center. Learn more about the fifth SRCCON and look for our call for participation to open April 2.

What We Believe

We believe a diverse community of peers working, learning, and solving problems together can create the stronger, more representative ecosystem that journalism needs to thrive. Through events for newsroom coders and journalists and a wide range of community and project support programs, we enable collaboration across organizations. Learn more about what we do or find out how you can get involved.
