Welcome and welcome back!
Sarah Baker, SCBWI Executive Director kicks off the conference with a WONDERFUL welcome!
There were hundreds of members smiling back at her as we all came together once again for the SCBWI In-Person Winter Conference.
The Industry party was back and in full effect. The ballroom was packed with so many industry professionals. They were thrilled to be there and were impressed by the portfolios they saw.
Congratulations to all the illustrators who participated. It takes hard-work and courage to put your work in the showcase and it was the highlight of the Industry party.
