As the premiere international academic media organization, driving insights, excellence in media production, and career advancement for educators, students, and professionals, we are proud to offer 2018 BEA On-Location, a “Super-Regional” conference at the University of Houston.  On-Location provides professional development with a series of hands-on training sessions, and an opportunity to promote academic scholarship through research and creative presentations and competitions.

Creative works are welcome in the following categories: audio, documentary, interactive multimedia, news, and sports. An Open category will also be included for entries that do not fit into one of these categories (such as narrative film and multi-cam). The creative works competition is open to faculty and students who completed their entry while employed or enrolled full-time at a college or university. You do not need to be a BEA member to enter. Faculty winners are expected to attend the conference for the public screen of their work. Submission fee: $25 per entry. In addition to the paper and production competitions, this conference will include hands-on training sessions on research techniques and the latest software.

Registration categories are as follows:

BEA Members: $100 | Non-Members: $150 | Students: $50

Registration will be open in mid-June
