There are 32 regional chapters outside the United States, and this year's conference brought in attendees from 20 countries. Saturday night's International Attendees Social gave those attendees a chance to meet and mingle.

Christopher Chang, who is a regional advisor for Australia/New Zealand, an SCBWI board member, and a former member-of-the-year welcomed the group. He shared information about their regional chapters. The group also shared good news coming from the international members. Good news all sounds so much more exciting with accents.
