DETAILS

Smarter workflows, bolder stories. Join Canva & Flourish in NYC to explore the future of journalism-visual, fast, & impactful.

The way journalism works is changing fast- new formats, tighter deadlines, shrinking teams. But the power of a great story? That stays the same.

Join Canva & Flourish in NYC on May 20 for a three-hour, editor-approved event created for journalists & media professionals across editorial, product, social, visual, & data roles. Whether you're in the newsroom or behind the scenes, this session is designed to add real value to your craft, your team, & your time.

At our recent Canva Create, we launched a new wave of features designed to help teams tell visual stories faster, collaborate more easily & work more efficiently. At this event, we'll take the time to unpack it all-showing how each new feature can support the day-to-day realities of journalism today.

What's in store:

Big-picture insights from media strategist Ricky Sutton (Future Media) on where journalism's heading & how to stay ahead of the curve
A comprehensive walkthrough of Canva & Flourish's newest features-focused on visual storytelling, publishing workflows, & productivity
Candid conversations with working journalists from leading media outlets sharing how they use these tools to create standout content while juggling shrinking resources
A relaxed happy hour to connect with peers, swap ideas, & recharge.
You'll walk away with:

Practical ways to create stronger visual content, faster
Tools & tips for saving time across your editorial workflow
A better understanding of what's possible-and how to get the most out of Canva & Flourish
Fresh ideas & real stories from peers tackling the same challenges
Come curious. Leave confident.

Diana Abeleven is Canva's Journalism & Media Lead; focused on supporting journalists & newsrooms as they navigate the evolving media landscape.

Canva is becoming an essential tool in modern newsrooms-empowering teams to tell impactful stories, work more efficiently, & connect with their audiences in visually compelling ways. Whether it's streamlining design workflows, enhancing storytelling, or enabling collaboration across teams, we're helping journalists spend less time on process & more time on what matters: reporting the truth.

With a background in strategic communications & public relations, Diana has spent the past four years working closely with journalists & media organizations around the world. Through these partnerships, she's seen firsthand the challenges facing the industry-and is committed to helping Canva play a meaningful role in strengthening the future of journalism.
