California Ethnic Media Annual Conference, Expo and Awards

At a time of deepening divisions in our country, we invite you to join us at the 2024 EMS-CBM

Annual Conference, Expo & Awards - a two-day event in Sacramento that brings together ethnic media dedicated to building an inclusive communications infrastructure in this State.

From Imperial County to Del Norte, the Central Valley to the Inland Empire, and the major metro areas of Southern California and the Bay Area, ethnic media representatives will showcase their diverse platforms—print, online, broadcast, and social media—at our Expo. They will engage with decision-makers and leaders from state and county agencies, community organizations, high-tech companies, corporate businesses, communications firms, philanthropies, and media enrichment programs to discuss sustaining the sector. Our opening lunch will honor communication professionals, and philanthropists for their pioneering contributions. We will conclude with the Ethnic Media Awards Gala, celebrating excellence in journalism and community engagement.

• Opening luncheon honoring communications champions
