Hello lovely Conversation 2023 volunteers! Some of you were unable to redeem your groats last year; we have arranged with @Eastercon2024 for you to be able to exchange them for Levitation 2024 groats. So make sure you bring them with you!

Finally managed to get up & dressed today so hooray for me. 😷 ✊Still drained from Covid but clearer head. Caught up on few @eastercon2023 panels, incl. fascinating talk on Solar Punk from Francesco Verso, author of The ROAMERS @flametreepress. ☀️🔋🥷📚

LOST PROPERTY - we've reunited a few items with their owners but these two remain - a black jersey with a zip and a brown lightweight sleeved and hooded cloak. Does anyone know who they belong to? Please DM or report on Discord help-desk channel.
