Greetings, Kidlit Blogdom!
Welcome to the first informational post for the Kidlitosphere 2010 Conference!
This year’s conference will be hosted by Andrew Karre (Carolrhoda), Ben Barnhart (Milkweed Editions) and Brian Farrey (Flux) in beautiful downtown Minneapolis.
Let’s start with the basics:
Where: Open Book, Minneapolis, MN
When: Saturday, October 23, 2010
The rough schedule calls for a wine and cheese reception on the night of Friday the 22nd, a day of workshops and panels on the 23rd, followed by a closing conference dinner in the evening.
We’re still working out the details of cost for the conference and hotel; we hope to have all the particulars very soon. Our goal is to make the cost comparable to past conferences. Once we’ve finished getting bids, we’ll post registration information. BUT, if you send an e-mail right now to kidlitcon2010@gmail.com with the subject line “Intent to Register,” you will receive $5.00 off the cost of registration.
Later this week, we’ll be posting a call for submissions. This is your chance to submit ideas for workshops/panels that you’d like to present or organize.
