I’m headed to Washington, D.C., this weekend for a conference of the American Copy Editors Society (ACES). Titled “Editing Boot Camp,” it’ll be a refresher course for editors old and new, and a chance to meet others in the field. And since it will be my first-ever professional conference, I’ve been counting down the days until it starts.

I’m excited to hear Dragonfly’s own Samantha Enslen as one of the featured presenters, and meet the other Dragonfly editors coming in to town. But I’m also a little nervous: what should I bring? What should I wear? Will I have time for some lightning-fast sightseeing in between conference obligations? (Can I fist-bump the President before the big election?)

I’ll find out soon enough. See you at ACES!
