The Society of American Business Editors and Writers, which is holding its 50th anniversary conference next week in Washington, D.C., will meet in 2014 in Phoenix.
The 2014 conference will be held in April, but the dates have yet to be finalized, said executive director Warren Watson.
SABEW held its 2010 conference at the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism at Arizona State University in downtown Phoenix. It is also the location of SABEW’s headquarters.
“We had a positive experience in Phoenix in 2010, so we will be returning in 2014,” said Watson. ” We’re based here as an organization, so that will help us a lot.”
Marty Wolk, current secretary, has been asked to be the conference content coordinator.
For the 2015 conference, the intention is to discuss a few options back in the East, said Watson, but nothing is really formed at this point. No formal proposals have been made yet for the year 2015.
