The fliers posted on the main page say april 18-20 but the “about finding our roots” page says april 25-27. Which weekend is the event going on?
This is going to be at Loyola, right?
April 18-20th is the correct date, just forgot to update this specific page.
No, it’s not at Loyola this year. It’s at Roosevelt University, 430 S. Michigan Ave (Michigan and Congress).
What is the schedule for the workshops this year? All I’ve found on the site is the proposal for the Transhumanism workshop.
We don’t have a finalized workshop list yet, but I should have one to post soon.
Can we get some floor numbers and room numbers for this year’s conference?
The exact workshop locations will be available at registration, but not before then, sorry.
