Minneapolis Convention Center
April 16-18, 2026
NHSJC offers extensive programming, including hundreds of instructional sessions, keynote speakers from national newsmakers, the JEA National Student Media Contests, on-site media critiques, NSPA Best of Show and the announcement of multiple national award winners. Visit the convention website at spring.journalismconvention.org to learn more.
NHSJC featured speakers are local journalism professionals from Minneapolis and the surrounding region. We highly recommend attending their sessions for unique opportunities to hear from these remarkable storytellers and media pros. Featured speakers are usually unique to a specific convention, so you may never have the same chance to hear from them again!
All convention events will take place at the Minneapolis Convention Center.
Convention hotels include the Hilton Minneapolis, Hyatt Regency Minneapolis, Sheraton Minneapolis Downtown Convention Center and Hilton Garden Inn Minneapolis Downtown. All except the Garden Inn are connected to the convention center via the Minneapolis Skyway.
