Since we introduced this format at ONA15, it&#8217;s consistently been ranked among the top experiences of the conference. Many of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/ona17.journalists.org\/speakers\/\">our\u00a0speakers<\/a>\u00a0will act as the hosts and have\u00a0proposed\u00a0the conversation topic of their choice to give these a crowd-sourced vibe.<\/p>\n<h3>What will be discussed?<\/h3>\n<p>In short, Table Talks are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>a fun, engaging coffee-shop-style discussion with others who share your passion<\/li>\n<li>open conversations about challenges or emerging issues we see in journalism, or perhaps those Big Ideas we never get the chance to explore in our day-to-day work<\/li>\n<li>an opportunity to get at some of the stickier issues not easily addressed in a more standard conference format<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We\u2019ve posted a list of topics under each track\u00a0on our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/ona17.journalists.org\/sessions\/\">ONA17 schedule page<\/a>.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/ona17.journalists.org\/sessions\/tabletalksaudienceengagement\/\">Audience Engagement + Analytics<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/ona17.journalists.org\/sessions\/tabletalksavimmersive\/\">Audio, Video, Photo + Immersive<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/ona17.journalists.org\/sessions\/tabletalksbusiness\/\">Business: Revenue + Ethics<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/ona17.journalists.org\/sessions\/tabletalkscareers\/\">Career Building<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/ona17.journalists.org\/sessions\/tabletalksdevelopers\/\">Developer Tools + Tech<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/ona17.journalists.org\/sessions\/tabletalksmobile\/\">Mobile Tools + Design<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/ona17.journalists.org\/sessions\/tabletalksnewsgathering\/\">Newsgathering Tools + Techniques<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/ona17.journalists.org\/sessions\/tabletalkseducatorsstudents\/\">Teaching + Training<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Think of these topics as a menu.\u00a0As a participant, you\u2019ll be able to join\u00a0in two conversations over the two-hour period. We\u2019ll give further instructions once you\u2019re in the session.<\/p>\n<h3>When will the Table Talks occur?<\/h3>\n<p>All of the Table Talks are scheduled the morning of<strong>\u00a0Friday, Oct. 6, from 10 a.m. \u2013 12 p.m.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>Where do I go?<\/h3>\n<p>All you need to do is look for the topics that seem most compelling to you, and head to that room. We\u2019ll give you further instructions on site. If you\u2019re not able to join a specific conversation during this time,\u00a0notes for each conversation\u00a0will be available after ONA17.<\/p>\n<h3>How will these work?<\/h3>\n<p>After a brief introduction from our trained facilitators, you\u2019ll get to select a topic of your choice and join a conversation at a round table. These are participatory conversations\u00a0that resonate at the core of the ONA17 crowd: digital challenges journalists face each and every day, professional development issues and emerging trends and ideas.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ll run two rounds of conversations, each about 45 minutes in length, so you\u2019ll have the chance to provide input into two topics. We\u2019ll also take notes to share, so don\u2019t worry if you can\u2019t get to every topic you find interesting.<\/p>\n<p>Once we\u2019re finished, the notes will be available for you and anyone else who might find the conversations interesting as a reference \u2014 or even to continue discussion after ONA17 is over!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Table Talks are a series of participatory conversations\u00a0aimed at tackling major issues in digital journalism.
