Our NASHional Conference
Join student-journalists from across Canada at NASH. Hosted by CUP in collaboration with a member paper each year, NASH is a great resource to learn from professionals in the media industry, network with other student-journalists, and attend our annual JHM Awards.
Canada's largest student journalism conference.
Every year since its inception, CUP has held a national conference, also known as NASH. The conference moves around the country and serves as the annual general meeting of the organization. It also features a number of training seminars and high-profile keynote speakers.
Vision
The purpose of NASH is to bring together student journalists from across Canada to learn both from industry experts and each other. Each year, the host school selects a theme for NASH, which often speaks to the constantly evolving world of journalism.
