The 2018 SCBWI Los Angeles Summer Conference, which wrapped on August 6, was one of our biggest events yet with over 1,200 members and industry pros in attendance. Creators from 48 US states and 18 countries joined together to discuss their craft and the state of the industry at large. Over the course of four days, eight keynote speeches, and 72 breakout sessions, the JW Marriott at LA Live became the hub of the children’s book community. Our attendees dressed to impress at the Saturday Night Writers & Artists Ball and polished their work at the first ever Closer Look intensive session. Literary legend Lois Lowry spoke about human connection and inspired us all to ask, What If?
