As I’m sure you can all understand and appreciate, the cost of … well, let’s face it, everything! … has gone up over the past few years. That specifically includes food. and while our partners at UMass-Lowell actually froze those costs for us this past year, there will be an increase for 2023. Accordingly, effective 9/1/22, we will be upping our all-inclusive price to $525 … but register by 8/31/22 and you can lock in the 2019 rate of $475! And to be clear, that all-inclusive rate includes the convention itself, plus full room and board from Thursday through Sunday (featuring a reception dinner on Thursday, three meals Friday and Saturday, breakfast and lunch on Sunday, plus a late night Saugy roast, snacks at the Authors Party, and pastries at the Artists Reception). Honestly, $525 is still a heck of a deal, but register in the next month and you can save $50! Please trust us when we say that slots for next year are going to fill fast, so PLEASE CLICK HERE to register today and lock in the Early Bird rate!
