Summertime! Will you be there? Are you going to the National Storytelling Network (NSN) in person Conference (storynet.org)? The conference will be held at the Dumas Bay Center in Federal Way south of Seattle, WA from July 11 – 14, 2024. Timing not right for you? Can’t make it in person? No worries. You can still be part of the fun. Many of the sessions are available virtually via Zoom.

We haven’t had an opportunity to get together in years. This is a great opportunity to meet old friends, say hello to those whom we have only seen on Zoom, and to make new ones. There will be tellers coming in from Korea, Thailand, Northern Ireland, and from all over the country. There will be workshops, swaps, fringes, and tons of hallway conversations and impromptu get togethers. Most of all, you will be able to spend time with folks who are just as passionate about storytelling as you.

Want something more exotic? The Federation of Asian Storytellers (FEAST) is having their 4th annual conference at the Suwon Convention Center, South Korea, about an hour from Seoul, September 5-8, 2024 (feast-story.org). There will be workshops, story swaps, and it will be held in conjunction with a Book Convention. Come over early or stay late. Join with other tellers to travel about, see the sights, and eat. I heard that they have pretty good Korean food over there.
