WASHINGTON, DC – Today NLGJA – The Association of LGBTQ Journalists is pleased to announce that its 2018 National Convention will be held September 6-9 in Palm Springs, CA.
The 2018 National Convention will take place at the Hard Rock Hotel Palm Springs, 150 S. Indian Canyon Dr., and will host more than 350 journalists, news executives, communications professionals and educators.
“I’m sure I echo our members on the West Coast in saying that I’m very excited for NLGJA’s National Convention to return to California,” said NLGJA Executive Director Adam K. Pawlus. “Palm Springs has long been a popular destination for the LGBTQ community, so I’ve no doubt that the city and our convention attendees will welcome each other with open arms.”
