I'm excited for #ONA25 - my 3rd! in New Orleans where I get to see so many friends who are amongst the speakers list. 👏

📅 Catch me at a Table Talk Friday and then Saturday morning with Liam Andrew we are going to run a workshop that I think will be a lot of fun.

🛫 Wheels up to NOLA!

I said this back in Atlanta in April running my first ever in-person training for the YESEO app. I made sure to buy the 3-year membership for ONA this year: glad to support the Online News Association and the entire team.

Just reading this story back, should have known it was a fake when the quote said the full name of Jolly Holiday, didn’t mention getting the Beef Birria Grilled Cheese and didn’t refer to any specific attractions to go on.

What Disney nerd wouldn’t say their favorite ride?! 😂

His notebook has notes from all the conferences he’s been to. I had to ask what he had then and what he wrote now. It was such a great look back in time!

How do you take notes at conferences? I use the notes app.

Thanks @pmja.bsky.social for having me!

Someone in the first row said they were at that event. They were in Springfield and now they were in Kansas City hearing me speak at PMJA.

He told the audience: "Fact Check: True". ✅

After my talk I made sure to introduce myself and found it gets better…

The 1st event I spoke at after being an @innovationrji.bsky.social fellow was a virtual presentation to the Illinois News Broadcasters Association introducing the @yeseo.app

It’s the first time I hear a success story using it.

Something even more interesting happened at PMJA this week.

Looking forward to running this again very soon!

It's great to build a program where I can take what I've found in the data seeing the @yeseo.app help people and using that to help others think about their stories.

Thank you @journalists.org for the first run of this!

Now that we’re all on BlueSky here are a few things about me:

💡 I made the YESEO app as an RJI fellow, which was a 2024 Excellence in AI Innovation finalist at the Online Journalism Awards.
