GRASSROOTS ACTIVISM KEEPS GUILD CONFERENCE GOING! November 10, 2001 | Indian Lakes Resort | Chicago, Illinois

Members in the Chicago area decided that the show must go on.

The event has been scaled back slightly from the original one and a half day schedule to one full, busy day on Saturday, November 10th. To encourage artists to take the trip out, we've also significantly lowered the price -- $60 for the entire day: all workshops, dinner at 6:30 pm and a blues party beginning at 8:00 pm

Workshops will go on from 10:00 am until 5:00 pm, and include The Warrior Queen's Guide to Contracts, Financial Planning and New Guild Benefits, Marketing and Self Promotion, the Children's Book Market and more.

If you wish to spend the weekend, rooms are available for $99 double ($50 per person). You may have the roommate of your choice (spouse, non member, non participant) or we will assign one for you. Non member guests are welcome to participate at the member rate.
