Our Toastmaster and Grand Master Speeches
To keep the joy of our diamond-year at SFWA going, we were thrilled to announce early-bird pricing for next year’s Nebula Conference at this year’s Nebula Awards Ceremony.
From now until December 31, general registration to our 61st Nebula Awards Conference in Chicago, June 2-7, is only $250 USD.
We’ll touch base later about Nebula Banquet pricing, but for now: Spread the word about this limited-time discount to all our regular conference programming, and keep the magic of the Nebs alive! We hope to see you again soon!
