Friends, booking a room at the Hilton Chicago with the MMLA member discount for the 2024 Convention is still possible! These bookings help the MMLA meet its "block" of convention participants staying at the hotel, and the Hilton has graciously extended the deadline for us until tomorrow night. There are so many perks to staying at the Convention venue: convenience, extra networking time, and staying out of the cold, to name a few. If you are at all interested in staying at the Convention venue, the luxurious Hilton Chicago Hotel, head to our website to book a room: https://www.midwest-mla.org/convention

Want to split the price of a room? Go to the MMLA Convention Discord to access the Roommate Finder channel! Email us at [email protected] to request a Discord invite link.

Thank you all for a successful convention this year! We had about 225 registrants and a very high rate of attendance. Scholars enjoyed an intimate environment to inspire and embolden new and continuing work. All the convention highlights will be included in the upcoming November newsletter.

Special thanks to the Executive Committee for their hard work, and to our program manager, Annette LePique, for making it all happen.
