During the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation, Inc.'s 43rd Annual Legislative Conference, approved bloggers have been granted access to VIPs for interviews and use of an Internet accessible work area. A. Shuanise Washington, president and chief executive officer of the CBCF Congressional Black Caucus Foundation, Inc. opened the doors to local and out of town bloggers. Social media is changing the landscape of how others find and share information. Online publishing has also allowed independent outlets to build platforms, and to present an array of perspectives that are linked to how stories are covered.
Although the annual conference is halfway over, additional items of note include the Author's Pavilion, and a new edition, The Enterprise Pavillion, which is described as the following:
"The Enterprise Pavilion is the newest edition to the ALC Exhibit Showcase. Visit this pavilion for valuable information about job opportunities in the federal and private sectors and learn how to best position your minority owned business to compete for government and private sector procurement contracts!"
Enterprise Pavilion hours:
9 a.m. - 6 p.m., Friday, Sept. 20
9 a.m. - 6 p.m., Friday, Sept. 20
8 a.m. - 1 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 21
The 43rd Annual Legislative Conference will continue today through Saturday at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center. For further information about any of the remaining events or sessions, please review the schedule. The theme of this year's conference is appropriately entitled, "It Starts With You." The US Telecom Association is powering Blogger's Row.
