Remember to register for the SPJ Region 11 Spring Conference, in Tucson, Ariz., April 11-12.

Click here to go to the convention Web site.

Go to the Hotel page to book your double occupancy rooms at the University Marriott Park hotel. The rates are $129 a night for conference attendees. The conference rate will be available for three days before and after the conference, so you might want to schedule extra time to visit the Arizona-Sonoran Desert Museum, the U.S.-Mexico border, Mount Lemmon, Kitt Peak, the dozens of fabulous Mexican restaurants and more.

The Marriott is located in a bustling university district, with lots of shopping, restaurants and coffee joints, and it’s right next door to the UA journalism department, where we’ll hold one round of sessions on Saturday.

Go to the conference registration page to register. Registration is $75 per person. And the optional bootcamps (Friday, April 11, and Sunday, April 13) will cost $50.
