Special Events

Thursday

Thursday evening is full of mingle opportunities. The conference center becomes a mix of meet-n-greets, centered around the Storymakers Ink Social. Food, fun, games, prizes, you name it!

Friday

Other than the awesome and incredible classes, Friday night offers our famed WHITNEY GALA, where the Whitney Award winners are announced. This is a formal event, so if you want to get dressed up and celebrate with your favorite authors, there is nowhere else you’ll want to be!

Saturday

After classes are over, Saturday offers a chance for you to buy books from your favorite authors and get their signatures at our mass author signing. You can also meet publishers and out other vendors as well. It’s a great chance to network and learn what industry insiders are looking for.
