TRL 2024 pov: i’m on the yearbook team
POV: You’re on the 2024-2025 yearbook team! Cue the confetti—for some—and the sweat for others. No matter your personal point of view, our flagship event, Treering Live (TRL), offers three days of FREE live virtual training for anyone helping to create the most epic yearbook ever.
Every National School Yearbook Week, the Treering Community comes together for
- Organization hacks
- Content examples that will wow your community
- How-to guides to master yearbook design and marketing
POV is More Than a Social Trend
We love a good theme. And we know it’s more than graphics: your comments on last year’s survey shaped the TRL 2024 schedule and session offerings. Here’s what you taught us:
- “I need something earlier in the day or meant more for classes to engage in.”
- “Wednesday was very heavy with sessions; perhaps spread them out more evenly across the days.”
- “I would like to be able to rewatch the sessions.”
- “If you do these events again, I would like to see more on designing a yearbook.”
- “This will be our 3rd Treering yearbook but my first time as Editor et al. It got handed to me, and I was lost, so when I got the email about TRL, I was all about it and so glad I attended sessions. Thank you so much for having this.”
- “I loved the free flow conversations and how one person really kept an eye on the Q&A so all were answered.”
Treering’s Response: You got it!
Join us October 8-10 for TRL 24 POV: I’m on the Yearbook Team. We’ve kept all that you loved and added more of what you want. Expect:
Lunch and Learn Schedule. TRL 2024 spans three days from 9 AM - 1 PM PT. (The rundown is below)
Prizes. Need we say more?
Real-time support. Your Community Advocate Team will continue to monitor and engage in the chat and Q&A to help you get resources and answers.
On-demand replays. Did you miss one because of lunch duty? Did you hear something you wanted to share with your class? Did we say something funny that you need to export and autotune? All registrants will have access to recordings through May.
Start the day with the same sessions, different POVs. After the obligatory welcome, the first two sessions tackle yearbook organization. With breakouts for first-time and experienced advisers, there’s content tailored for volunteers, educators, and aficionados of all levels. The best part? Each day, a different speaker will share their perspective.
Multiple electives. Ideas, examples, and instructions—oh my! Attend specialized sessions on portrait pages, spread design, photography, and coverage.

2024 TRL FAQs
How much does it cost to register?
Free! Charging extra for support and training isn’t our thing.
I’m not a Treering customer. May I attend?
Yes, please attend. Treering loves to share.
Can my yearbook students attend?
Student privacy is always our utmost concern. Yearbook classes are welcome to attend together; the adviser must be present to model responsible online engagement.
What do I need to prepare for TRL?
Make sure you have the latest version of Zoom so you don’t miss out! If you’re old school, have paper and a pen to take notes. New school, live post on X, formerly known as Twitter, or Facebook and hashtag #trl2024, #BiteSizedPD, #treering
Will TRL be recorded?
We will record and share all group TRL sessions on the On Demand section of the Yearbook Club Hub on Zoom Events through May 2025.
This is my first year leading the yearbook. What should I do?
Welcome! We recommend beginning with I’m the Yearbook Coordinator… Now What? (It’s happening three times!)
