Thanks for the info, it looks like a great line up of very knowledgeable women (and man), too far for me, I'll be green with envy of everyone who gets to go. 😁

Disgraceful - that they have to keep the location secret until the day before. Sounds great though.

I'm in the South East so won't be able to make it myself. I'm going to have severe FOMO - it's a great line up.

Think I'm going. I've two tickets (all day) in my basket for me and terfy teen DD but waiting for payday!

This looks for fab. Can't make it myself, but would love to hear about it

When I read the thread title I thought - uh-oh, I bet it's one of those 'anybody who IDs as a woman' women's events🙄
Delighted to see that it's anything but!
A great line-up, I hope it is a great success, and above all is safe from harassment or attack.

Thanks for sharing.

But struggled to read it.

So many thanks for the text version on the OP.

I have a ticket for this and I've purchased hard copies of a few books for the event.
I'm hoping the usual suspects will have a day off but not counting on it. The venue being a secret until the day before won't prevent any protests. I assume it's to prevent people from trying to get the venue cancelled.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to it. Should be a great event
