“Writers and creators require space, intellectual context, and community to thrive,” said the conference organizers. “Whether you are an aspiring writer, an expert, or simply an admirer of the craft, you likely seek environments that connect you to your interests, provide encouragement, and help you develop meaningful relationships. This year’s theme recognizes the importance of those ecosystems and serves as a call to action to care for them with kindness.”
