Eighth Annual Southern Girls Convention Houston, Texas: June 23–25, 2005
The Eighth Annual Southern Girls Convention will be held from Friday, June 23 to Sunday, June 25, 2006, in Houston, Texas, at The Artery and the University of Houston's UC Underground. From here, you can find more information on how to get to the convention site and the schedule of events that you'll enjoy once you're there. If you have any questions about the event, you can see if they've already been answered in our Frequently Asked Questions, or you can contact the organizers for help.
If you plan to come to the convention, you should register to attend as soon as possible. Your registration and $20 (sliding-scale) registration fee will assure you a place at the convention—including arrangements (if you need them) for housing in Houston and free meals. (It also helps us get an idea of how many people are coming and make sure that we have enough food and sleeping space for everyone!)
All workshops are proposed and run by the participants themselves—that means you! If there is an issue you'd like to discuss, information you'd like to share, a campaign you'd like to organize… sign up to run a workshop. As in years past, we hope that SGC will provide a space to share skills, meet others working on the issues we care about, explore various issues affecting the South, and strategize on how to organize and make positive changes in our communities. In addition, this year we will be having a free arts and crafts fair at the convention—you can sign up to participate online. Please, feel free to bring video projects, zines, writing, and anything you are interested in sharing to the convention. We look forward to seeing you there!
More information on the location and schedule of events will be available soon. Watch this space, and be sure to sign up for e-mail updates!
