The buzz is back.

ACFW’s annual conference, held in Dallas, Texas, is gearing up to be bigger and better than ever. Already authors, presenters, and speakers are lining up to hear and be heard at one of the premier events in the publishing industry. Why? It’s simple. Mathematics.

Since its inception, ACFW has more than doubled in sheer size and numbers. Drawn by the possibility of meeting editors and publishers face-to-face, authors have flocked to ACFW by the hundreds. And ACFW has lived up to its end of the bargain.

This year, more agents and editors than ever have agreed to set up shop for one weekend in September. They are going all out to meet with aspiring authors across the table. As if that weren’t enough, ACFW is offering hours of educational workshops and clinics, spearheaded by keynote speaker, James Scott Bell.

The cost of the conference has gone up in recent years, but once again I’m looking forward to packing my bags and heading for Dallas. After all, it’s the experience that’s important!
