It’s crucial to support the work of B2B journalists. Regardless of the industries or “beats” they cover, these journalists provide essential news and stories that help their readers. Yet today’s reporters also face a variety of stressors, including a never-ending news cycle as well as staff and budget cuts. These journalists benefit from educational events and networking that help them improve their publications and better serve their readers.
The American Society of Business Publication Editors (ASBPE) serves editors, writers, art directors, and designers employed in the business, trade, and specialty press. We strive to offer support, guidance, educational opportunities and networking events to help B2B journalists through their evolving and increasingly more precarious professions.
Supporting our annual conference is a small way for you to show your support for the hard-working B2B journalists and publications that not only use your products and services, but endeavor to make us all better informed, hold officials accountable and improve the industries they cover.
Each year, ASBPE hosts its National Conference & Azbee Awards Banquet offering members and guests an opportunity to get insight into best practices of B2B journalism, network with colleagues from across the country and honor the winners of the Azbee Awards program. Don’t miss your chance to be a part of this event through our sponsorship program detailed below.
