Every Saturday, join me as I CELEBRATE This Week
with Ruth Ayres from Discover. Play. Build.
I'm so grateful for the NCTE annual convention every year because I get to connect with friends who feel like family. It's an opportunity to learn from people who push my thinking and to rejuvenate. I have so many ideas after NCTE that I'm excited to make happen.
Here's a recap of all the wonderful people I connected with. By the end of the conference, I left knowing that I carry their hearts with me and that's pretty amazing.

NCTE, thank you! You rock! I can't wait until next year. I'm already counting down the days.
Love seeing these pics from NCTE and so many of my blogger and author friends! I'm hoping to make it next year.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great gift to be able to go the NCTE. I hope to one day go. I had some interactions with Benjamin Alire Sáenz recently, but to meet him would have been awesome and Matt de la Peña - wow! I see some familiar faces up there. Such a treat to see old and new friends. Yay!!
ReplyDeleteAny sort of event at corporate event venues San Francisco by any organization always need special preparations. This would include preparing all the pre-convention conferences, working with the visual performers and authors, choosing the correct place for the conference, choosing food etc.
