#ACESVCON25 Day 1 - Wrapped up an incredible style session with AP Stylebook editor Anna Jo Bratton and Colleen Newvine.🎉 Bratton said: "We never make snap changes. Everything gets talked about. Part of this job is that we are responsible for keeping up with the evolution of language.”

September is a big month for editors! We geeked out at VCON25 last week, it's Be Kind to Editors and Writers month, and today, 9/24, is National Punctuation Day - a great excuse to celebrate your favorite symbol - do you love the question mark, semicolon, or Oxford comma?

"Reflections on VCON25" — a perfect recap of this year’s virtual conference, written by ACES Executive Director Gigi Sutton. It’s an inspiring read on the countless moments of community connection and standout moments from the event. Don’t miss it! tinyurl.com/ynvrscv5

Amanda Jones, known as "That Librarian," kicked off #ACESVCON25! “Everyone has a voice – if I, as a small librarian, from a town with two lights, can speak out, … we become one. In that small way, it can have ripple effects that we don’t even realize.” tinyurl.com/bp9rnzbt

Congratulations to the winners in the individual category of the ACES annual headline contest: Dave Bowman (Los Angeles Times), Rhiannon L. Root (Washington Times), Tom Widlowski (Texas Electric Cooperatives), and Natalie Canalis (Daily Bruin, UCLA). Learn more: tinyurl.com/yyttdp98

Day 3 of #ACESVCON25 - what an experience! From educational, motivating, and inspiring sessions to a nautical-themed pun slam and a surprise announcement that ACES 2027 will celebrate its 30th anniversary in Puerto Rico, the conference did not disappoint! See you in Atlanta in 2026!

Talk about making waves! The final day of #ACESVCON25 ended with a pun-derful splash 🌊 as Sandra and Marie went head-to-head in the Pun Slam Showdown with a nautical theme. With “sea-riously” clever wordplay, it was hard to choose so we voted it a tie for "reely" great entertainment.

Day 3 #ACESVCON25 surprise announcement! Get ready to trade your red pens for ocean views — we’re heading to Puerto Rico in 2027 for the biggest, boldest ACES in‑person conference yet, in honor of our 30th anniversary! April 26-29, 2027. It's a Mon-Wed.

Day 2 of #ACESVCON25 brought the energy, insight, and inspiration!🔥 From engaging speakers to practical wisdom shared across sessions, today was a masterclass in excellence and connection.

Day 2 #ACESVCON25 is just as great as Day 1! Today's highlight was Peter Sokolowski of Merriam-Webster who captivated the crowd with his deep insights on language and how Webster's spellings were developed. One of his memorable quotes: “English is full of traps and why copyeditors are necessary.”
