New and Noteworthy!
What is better than writing, illustrating, networking, desserts, cocktails, and fun?

Join us this year for a free Cocktail and Dessert Party (no evening banquet).

Going Green!
We are continuing to try and find ways to take care of our earth. A consolidated version of the schedule will be provided in your conference folder, but if you are wanting the full conference brochure, please print your own copies. Thank you for helping us make the world a better place for the children that we write and illustrate for!
Please note that due to the way the registration system is structured, all sessions (both included and optional) are listed under EVENT EXTRAS. Note that if you want to change your session selection, you must DE-SELECT an option before you will be able to select another one. Thank you for your understanding and patience!
You will not be held to your included session selections (you can change your mind when you arrive), but your selection now will help us when assigning sessions to conference rooms.
Thank you!
