Program as the Coalition for Community Writing published it. Names link to a person page only for people listed at two or more conferences.
Read from the program PDF. All 80 panels (A to H) are here. Workshops that the PDF describes only on its abstract pages are listed from there with their facilitators. The Makerthon (15 sessions) prints names with no institutions, and the descriptive paragraphs under a few sessions are not kept. The keynotes and Elaine Richardson's performance were added by hand.
