End-of-year Festive Europolitan Chat

✨ End the Year with SCBWI!

When: Thursday 10 December 2026

Time: 8pm-9pm

Price: Free

Do you write, translate, illustrate—or maybe a little bit of everything? Whatever your creative role, come join us for a fun and relaxed evening with fellow SCBWI members from across the Benelux!

Let’s take a moment to celebrate what we accomplished over the past year, whether it was finishing a manuscript, signing with an agent, publishing a book, completing an illustration, translating a story, or simply making progress on a project that matters to you. Then we’ll look ahead and share what we’d like to achieve in the coming year.

We’ll divide into small breakout rooms based on your interests, so you can meet other members working in similar areas.

Possible groups include:

• Picture books
• Middle grade
• Young adult
• Translating
• Illustration
• Graphic novels
• Self-publishing
• And more!

Have a particular genre, format, or topic you’d like to talk about? Just let us know when you register, and we’ll do our best to create a group for it.

Most of all, this is an opportunity to meet other lovely SCBWI members, share ideas, celebrate each other’s achievements, and start the New Year together.

Bring your goals, your enthusiasm, and something to drink—hot or cold! And since it’s a celebration, silly hats are very much welcome. 🎉

We hope to see you there!
