The conference is Saturday, October 24th. Be there early to sign up for consultations. Great food and conversation; high quality workshops and sessions.
Hi! I’m a member, and just as I was signing up for the Fall Conference, I noticed that the ticket price included $4.95 for shipping and handling.
That’s pretty pricey for an online ticket purchase.
Why?
It is stated on the online registration price that there is a 3% paypal charge. We collect that via “shipping and handling”. Thanks and see you soon!
I cannot come Friday night, but would like to hear my childhood writer heroine, Bodie Thoene, speak – is there a way to just register for Saturday, and is she speaking both morning and afternoon? Thanks so much!
The Saturday only conference is only $99 if you register before 10/1!
