Each year, editors from all fields come together for three days of workshops, panel discussions and networking. Attendees include editors for newspapers, magazines, websites, trade publications, book publishers, nonprofit agencies and corporations, as well as students, journalism professors, consultants and freelancers.The idea that led to the creation of ACES was nurtured during a series of three conferences about copy editing sponsored by the American Society of Newspaper Editors in 1995 and 1996.When ACES was chartered in the spring of 1997, the top priority of the society’s founders was to conduct their own national gathering.Four months later, the first ACES national conference took place at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.Upcoming Conferences[edit]March 23 – March 25, 2023: Hyatt Regency, Columbus, OhioApril 4 – April 7, 2024: Sheraton San Diego Hotel & Marina, San Diego, CaliforniaApril 3 – April 6, 2025: Hilton Salt Lake City Center, Salt Lake City, UtahApril 23 – April 26, 2026: The Westin Peachtree Plaza, Atlanta, GeorgiaReferences[edit]"},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki40\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Enzyklop\u00e4die"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki40\/aces-the-society-for-editing\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"ACES: The Society for Editing"}}]}]
