OTHER UPCOMING DEADLINES

First, thanks to everyone who responded to my question about whether to add annual seminars and the like to the Conferences tab. The consensus was overwhelmingly in agreement, so that will get implemented here shortly! This week, though, you might notice that both the news and the submissions are a little on the lighter side, most likely due to two reasons — Everything slows down in the summer! and I’ve been out of town visiting family all week, and not glued to my computer (fighting withdrawals, for sure, lol). As always, if you have any questions, corrections, comments, or concerns, you may reach me through either the CONTACT form on the website or email at info@conferencekeeper.org. I really appreciate your input!
