It’s not the same as being together in person, but I hope this will be an adequate substitute till we can reunite again in 2022. The Executive Office and Program Committee have put so much effort and time into making this a memorable, engaging meeting, and I would like to welcome everyone and wish all of you a great conference. Thanks so much to Katie Acosta, David Brunsma, Lyla Byers, D’Lane Compton, Brandon Jackson, Rashawn Ray, Rebecca Shankman, and all of the members of the Program and Local Arrangements Committees who did the heavy lifting of putting all this together. Enjoy the meetings, everyone! We’ve got great Author Meets Curious Readers sessions, so many interesting panels, advice on book publishing, networking cafés, and even “contemplative practices” with Courtney B. Ross. So, grab your Mardi Gras beads (in the spirit of New Orleans) and I’ll see you on the screen! Happy conferencing!
