On Thursday October 24, 2019 it was the IHSPA Fall Conference at the Iowa Memorial Union in Iowa City. This was a great opportunity to learn more about Journalism, Photo journalism, and Social Media. Small sessions were provided throughout the day to cover certain topics for the students and advisers. There were also On-The-Spot contests for students to compete in to test their ability of writing a story by a certain deadline.  During the day students got to take a lunch break and tour the Iowa College campus and enjoy the downtown views and restaurants. At the end of the day they announced Yearbook awards and many schools got awards. Davenport Central High School Yearbook Staff also got many awards including,

· 2nd place for Cover, Makenna Verdon and staff
