AAEC convention program announced; Another must-attend

Satire Fest

The Association of American Editorial Cartoonists annual convention will be held in San Francisco October 9–11. The event is being called “Satire Fest” – using the same acronym as San Francisco. For those interested in attending (or won’t miss it for the world), the program line-up has been posted. Subjects hit on a variety of things such as social media, crowd funding, international cartooning and several open-to-the-public engagements. Below is an outline of currently planned sessions. Looks like a great event. Head over to the site to read the descriptions. AAEC President Mark Fiore, who lives in the Bay Area, was able to tap into the rich local cartooning/arts community.
