Why can we have conferences in the Duluth / Rochester / other area instead of the Twin Cities?
Most of the Minnesota SCBWI members live in and around the Twin Cities, which means more people will be able to benefit from an event. The more people who participate means the lower the registration fee can be. Also, so far all Minnesota regional advisors have lived in the Twin Cities. Organizing a conference is demanding enough without the added difficulties and costs of making the arrangements from a distance.
