Many of you have been asking about the 2020 Fall Conference in this time of Covid-19. Although none of us knows exactly what the world will look like in September, we, your Regional Team and Conference Committee felt that the risks were too great to hold our fall conference as planned. But we're not letting this get us down. We're making plans for the 2021 SCBWI Midsouth Fall Conference! The dates will be September 10-12, 2021. We hope you'll mark your calendars to join us then!
