That's the western PA conference of the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators. You should look into it if you want to publish picture books or books for children.
Registration $200, $225 after Nov. 3.
I'll be there.

Soooo tempted. Particularly since one of the breakout sessions is on sword fighting. Wish I had a story concept that was not tied to asking Hasbro kindly for permission.

Why are these writers' conferences so goddamned expensive?

Look in Foucalt's Pendulum by Umberto Ecco. It'll give you the explanation and a damn good read to boot.
