The Renaissance Journalism Center at San Francisco State University and ZeroDivide invite you to LearningLAB, our second annual multimedia training conference. This two-day program is designed to help the ethnic media, community media and nonprofit organizations participate more fully in the ever-changing digital era and continue to be vibrant voices for the diverse communities you serve.

We're offering two distinct learning options: On October 1, a daylong series of in-depth workshops; and on October 2,  two  multimedia "boot camps," where you produce a multimedia piece from start to finish. Choose one or both, it's up to you.

We welcome beginners!
