We are sold out for 2010!
We have filled the event facility to capacity at 300 people. We’re thrilled at the event’s success, but very sorry we can’t take more people this year. If you wanted to register for 2010 but missed the chance, we’ve got a special early registration rate for the 2011 conference, just for you!
The next installment of the conference is Feb. 26 & 27, 2011, at the American Airlines Training and Convention Center in Fort Worth. We’re moving up to a bigger venue so we can accommodate higher attendance. The AATCC is a fantastic facility, complete with a tavern, fitness center, lounge and hotel rooms all right there in the center. For more details, check out its web site.
Planning for 2011 is already well underway. We’ll have more than 10 literary agents, a great keynote and an impressive lineup of speakers once again! In the meantime, if you want to reserve your space early and get to the front of the line for a consultation with an agent, you can register now. For a limited time, we’ve got a special rate of $265 for anyone who couldn’t get in to the 2010 event because it was sold out!

Are you going to post the classes available at the conference soon?
We’ve just posted a list of speakers here. The full schedule with session titles and descriptions is very close to being ready, we’re just waiting for a few more responses and then we’ll post it.
Silly me. I didn’t register in time. I was told at the Workshop Wednesday there’s a wait list I can add my name to as I sit outside with my nose pressed to the window, sobbing …
Anyhow, please let me know how I wait list for 2010. Meanwhile, I’ll be doing the early sign up thing for 2011. Thanks. I hope it’s a grand success.
We’re very sorry we can’t fit more people into the facility. In order to get on the waiting list, go here and under “Ticket Information” you’ll see a link that says “Add to Waitlist.” We look forward to seeing you at the 2011 conference!
