“I
think the program itself was good. It
had a good variety of speakers and I
feel I had the opportunity to meet and
greet with both great minds and also
people from my age group who were trying
to find their ways in B2B journalism
just like me.”

“The
program is a great idea and way of bringing
together young trade journalists. I
keep in touch with a few of the Young
Leaders, whom I now call friends.
“Because of
the scholarship and the conference,
I made the decision to join the board
of my local chapter. I hope to do more
with the ASBPE in the short- and long-term
future. Prior to receiving this scholarship,
I had little idea what the organization
was all about, and now I see its value.”
“The
networking at the conference was invaluable.
As a young editor, it's sometimes difficult
to find someone who really understands
what you do and can give you feedback
and advice. It was so refreshing to
spend a few days with my own species
of business publication editors, commiserating,
sharing best practices, and learning
alongside one another.”

to foster interest in the B2B publishing
world with younger editors who are advancing
in their editorial careers. The scholarship

two days of intensive editorial sessions
and the ASBPE

editors, including print
and web. Scholarships pay the conference and
hotel room costs for five worthy applicants
per year. Transportation to and from the
conference, any nonconference meals,
and other incurred costs are the responsibility of
the winners or their individual publishing
companies.
Winners of the award will also receive
