Will be be virtual again for those of us on the other side of the world? It sounds interesting.

I can recommend this conference as I went to the second (?) one many years ago & really enjoyed it. :)

I think it was the International Heyer Society that ran a virtual con. It isn't our skill set, but we will give some thought to it 🙂

I hope someone will take notes and give us a summary of the conference then!

Oooh other side of the world for me but I would be super interested if there was a virtual component.

Yes. Sounds like fun though.

We are hoping to make a recording available after the event for those who live just a little too far away to join us on the day! 🙂if it goes ahead, i will definitely post the details here!

Awesome! There are Heyer fans here but not enough to warrant a conference.

Sounds good! It would be nice to have an online talk or something too, as others already do, like the Hay Festival or the Austen or Gaskell Houses.

I quite definitely will after the conference!

I had an email from Susannah inviting me to the conference, & among the topics were

on what 'sensitivity readers' are planning to do to Georgette's novels,

I do hope this does engender some very lively discussion! We have talked here before about The Grand Sophy & some of us hoped that if they do 'clean up' the Jewish moneylender that this is made clear in an introduction.
