We're back in Minneapolis for our annual conference SRCCON, and you can follow along remotely. Plus, SRCCON is back again this December, with a smaller, topical event, SRCCON:WORK.

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.
