Update: August 1, 2021: The Delta variant is causing an increase in cases nationwide amongst both those who are vaccinated and unvaccinated albeit with different levels of severity. Cook County capacity controls and other measures could be introduced. It is still our intention to hold an in-person event, but a final decision will not be made until September 1. Plans for an online event are in place, if necessary. Please stay tuned here for further details. In the meanwhile, stay safe and vaccinate as recommended by your doctor.

Update: August 17, 2021: to give people as much lead time as possible, and considering extensive feedback from attendees, volunteers, and speakers, we have made the decision to hold 2021 virtually on Saturday, October 16. More details to come. Tentative in-person dates are October 21-23, 2022.

Really sorry to hear this. I'm still 80% likely to show up in the area anyway, as I have many friends nearby. Plenty of time before I have to cancel flights and hotels.
@cocobird: 14-16 Oct are the dates for 2022, not 2021.

I know that you decided to have this online due to the fact that even those who are vaccinated are getting sick now. Don't understand why those who've had covid and have immunity that's many times better than the immunity from the vaccine, still weren't allowed to attend? Really sad that you wouldn't at least recognize those people.
