Compleat Biographer

The first Compleat Biographer Conference will be held on May 15, 2010 at the University of Massachusetts Boston. The conference, to be run by the Biographers International Organization (BIO), will focus on the practical aspects of the craft and art of biography. It also aims to create a setting in which biographers can meet and share experiences with other biographers.

The daylong meeting will begin with a breakfast gathering, at which BIO’s bylaws will be formally approved and officers will be elected. During the course of the day, attendees will be able to participate in an assortment of 10 workshops offered in four time slots. Each workshop will be offered twice. The schedule will permit participants to attend four of the 10 selections. Most workshops will feature three speakers and a moderator, leaving sufficient time for discussion.

Lunch will feature a speech by a prominent biographer. The day will conclude with a reception, at which several authors will be signing books.

A special discount rate for lodging will be available at a nearby hotel.

UMass Boston shares the Columbia Point peninsula with the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum and the Massachusetts Archives. The perimeter of the peninsula is part of the Boston Harborwalk, a multi-mile trail stretching from the border of Quincy along Boston Harbor to Charlestown. Columbia Point offers exquisite views of Boston Harbor, the skyline of the city of Boston, and the Boston Harbor Islands National Park
