• Ideas for topics or articles you might want to work on (though suggestions will be provided for those just looking to be put to work)
• We'll have resources available but feel free to bring any relevant reference materials you might have
• A friend (you can also bring your spouse, kids, family, etc.) – we love to meet new would-be-editors!
