EVENT24 Seattle Hub

Can we imagine an event that contributes to a more sustainable future while providing some advantages that are not possible at a regular annual conference? Those advantages include: increased attendance; more intimate gatherings; a less impacted schedule; reduced costs; and greater international networking and collaboration. Our idea: maintain the pleasures of a face-to-face meeting by hosting “hub” events across the world, encouraging people to attend the closest one to reduce air travel and avoid long-haul flights. The Seattle Hub will take place from September 27-29, 2024, with panels on Friday and Saturday (27-28th) and an optional field trip on the morning of Sunday the 29th.

We will be hosting a plenary roundtable on the topic “Victorians in/and/on the Pacific,” in conjunction with the UC-Davis Hub, which will open the conference on Friday morning.
