AAN West 2010 returns with a great line-up of top-notch programming for line-level staff in sales, editorial, design/production and business. This programming was developed by a planning committee representative of all newsweekly departments and from seven Northern California AAN members. Attendees at AAN West will have the opportunity to learn new and reinforce current skills, network with peers and gain a deeper appreciation of alt. weeklies as career paths.

Where? At the AAN West opening night reception. Blakes on Telegraph is the location of Friday evening's cocktail party hosted by the East Bay Express. It's a short 10-minute walk from the hotels to downtown Berkeley, where Blakes on Telegraph will open its doors to the AAN West crew. There will be some light bites and plenty of drinks -- the new locally-brewed East Bay Express beer, EBX Bleeding Heart Lager, will be on tap as well. Things get underway right after sessions end on Friday and will run until 8 pm. The party is included for AAN West registrants, but guest tix are available for $25. Web Conference attendees are welcome to purchase a guest ticket and make your way across the Bay.
