MODERN MEDIA CONFERENCE
The Modern Media Conference is a biannual event held at Georgia State that brings media professionals to the undergraduate community. It was not held in 2021 due to the pandemic. Because the College Media Association and the Associated College Press will be hosting their Fall National Convention at the Hyatt Regency Atlanta from October 29 to November 2, 2023, the next Modern Media Conference will be held in 2025.
