SKILLS FEST CANCELLED FOR LACK OF INTEREST
Want to learn how to produce a perfect video, capture a fleeting moment with your smart phone? Or perhaps learn how to tell an audio story or craft a compelling podcast? These skills will be taught at Skills Fest 2019 at the New Jersey Institute of Technology in Newark on Saturday, Feb. 2. Attendees must bring their own smart phone and laptop. Registration covers cost of a one-year SPJ membership or renewal (well worth it!) plus a boxed lunch. (See schedule below.)
