We are very excited to announce that registration for the 2019 EFA Conference is now open! The conference will be held August 21–23, 2019, at the Swissôtel Chicago (323 E. Upper Wacker Dr., Chicago, IL 60601).

The 2019 EFA Conference gathers freelance editors, writers, indexers, translators, and other editorial professionals to network with colleagues and develop professionally—a rare opportunity for those who work as solo entrepreneurs. Session topics will include skills development, the business of freelancing, working with clients, as well as out-of-the-box ideas.

Details about the event are on the conference website. We are excited about our keynote speakers and session presenters and will be sharing details very soon—check your email or the conference website for updates.
