Thank you, SRCCON 2017 attendees! You brought your ideas, your passions, and your whole selves to Minneapolis and created an incredible experience for everyone there. We’ve been cleaning up transcripts and publishing writeups on Source, and sharing more of the wonderful work that took place in more than 50 sessions and workshops this year.
We’ll also be continuing many of these important conversations at SRCCON:WORK this December in Philadelphia. Our program will take on collaboration, career growth, and care, and we invite you to join us in exploring how we can help each other take on the hard work of journalism.
SRCCON is a hands-on conference, full of conversations and workshops focused on the practical challenges that news technology and data teams encounter every day. We work to make it an inclusive and welcoming event where people can feel comfortable digging into complex problems. Last year SRCCON included nearly 300 attendees and more than 50 sessions that covered a wide range of topics, from tech strategies to workplace culture struggles.

The majority of SRCCON participants are developers, designers, and data analysts who work in newsrooms. We also enthusiastically welcome attendees from closely allied fields like civic tech, mapping, open data, and others who are curious about journalism and excited to share their expertise at a journalism-centric conference.
Our participants represent organizations ranging from massive to tiny, and come from all over the US and many other countries. Each year, we particularly welcome journalists and allies from the city hosting SRCCON, and we’re working to build better remote-participation options for those who can’t attend in person.

SRCCON is produced by OpenNews, an organization built to connect a network of developers, designers, journalists and editors to collaborate on open technologies and processes within journalism.
The “src” in SRCCON stands for “Source,” as in “view source.” We pronounce it “Source-con,” but you can say it however you want.
