IRE Annual Conference: Demo Room Schedule
Back to IRE Conferences: Denver 2005


The Demo Room is in Mount Oxford on the third floor of the Grand Hyatt.

The Demo Room is your nerve center for computer-assisted reporting during the conference — from signing up for hands-on computer classes to hearing about CAR techniques to seeing how IRE and NICAR can help make story ideas come to life.

Every day, IRE staffers will present sessions on the growing array of services provided to members, and Database Library staffers will be on hand to answer questions and demonstrate any of the databases included in the expanding collection of IRE and NICAR.
