ReCONvene happening online on August 15

[kestrell]

As a reminder, Boskone and its parent organization are using reCONvene 2020 as an online test to see what is possible for us in the virtual space. We're planning to keep it simple with a focus on fantastic panel discussions, presentations, kaffeeklatches, music and art, and online gaming. We will also be using Discord for general conversations and Zoom for our programming.

If you would like to join us, reCONvene 2020 will be held on Saturday, August 15, from 11:00 am-5:00 pm (U.S. Eastern Time). Memberships are $10 per person.
