Convention Preview

What do you see in the banner image shown above? An open book? A journal? A tablet? An e-book? Mountains and valleys? A dialogue between books? Open your imagination. Consider the possibilities the image above and the OPEN BOOK theme suggest. Those two words, OPEN BOOK, might be a command to read. Or are they a call to literacy? A description of an object? An assertion of transparent agendas? A statement against censorship? A promise of open minds?

Join us in Portland, Oregon, to think, talk, hear, and write about all of the topics raised by the above image and the theme of OPEN BOOK.
