  • 1.  Room Number and Zoom Link for Ebook Friday

    Posted May 11, 2022 02:19 PM

    Hi all,

     

    Ebook Friday will go on.  It is Friday, June 24th.  See below for the times of various sessions and a brief agenda.

     

    The room number is Washington Convention Center, 152A.

     

    Here is a Zoom link for those of you attending virtually.  I'm not sure I'll have access to a large screen for us to view people online, but we'll have equipment so that you should be able to see the room, hear conversations, and have your comments heard.

     

    Michael Blackwell is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.
