It’s official: AAN’s Web Publishing Conference will be returning to San Francisco on January 28-29, 2011. Hotel information, registration rates, and programming details are still being hammered out, and AAN’s new Executive Director Tiffany Shackelford — whose recent exploits include the successful planning of the Online News Association’s 2010 conference — promises a rich, exciting slate of programming for both staff and management.

AAN West will be taking a year off in 2011.

Stay tuned for more details.
