We guarantee three ideas you’ll take home from Best Ideas Session — or your money back April 29, 2010

Call it copying, borrowing, stealing, adapting or say that impersonation is the sincerest form of flattery, but make sure you bring a notepad as we look at the “Best Ideas of 2009” in the final general session in Salt Lake City.

Great ideas are the lifeblood of great sections and this is your chance to see what other newspapers are doing and learn how it can help you and your section. As sports editors around the country face challenges with space and staffing, finding new ways to do things is a daily part of the job. Innovation is among our best assets.

Three new ideas to bring back home or your money back. (Sorry, Jack wouldn’t let me get away with that one, but it will be worth your time.)

If you have packages that your section has done, please send PDFs to me at barnetj@phillynews.com. If you have seen things you liked that others have done, please send me an email and I will hunt them down.

Great Ideas is among the general sessions and workshops offered in Salt Lake City. Workshops include a examination of Watchdog Reporting.

The deadline for the $200 registration fee is June 1, and APSE members should have received registration forms and a listing of social activities in the mail. If you have not, e-mail Executive Director Jack Berninger at jackapse@aol.com or at 804-741-1565. To see an outline of convention events, click here.

In a change from past years, one registration fee allows multiple people from your organization to attend. Register for the hotel, the Marriott City Center, by calling 877-907-4491. The group code is APS (no E).

 
Josh Barnett is executive sports editor of the Philadelphia Daily News. You can reach him at (215) 854-5212 or via e-mail at barnetj@phillynews.com.
