The 9th Biennial Slayage Conference on the Whedonverses
Dawson College | Montreal, Quebec, Canada | 9-12 July 2020
Postponed due to COVID-19 (Coronavirus) Pandemic
19 March, 2020: The Board of the Whedon Studies Association is sad to announce that, given the current global coronavirus crisis, we are postponing our WSA conference, Slayage 9, until 2021. Kristopher and the Montreal local arrangements team hope that the conference can be held in 2021 in Montreal.
This was a decision that was made with great reluctance and much discussion. We all are disappointed but want to keep the health of our members safe and acknowledge that this will be a tough year in many ways for most of us.
Presentation proposals already made and accepted will roll over unless members wish to send in a new proposal at the appropriate time. New proposals also will be accepted in the future.
We hope any of you who already have made travel arrangements are able to cancel them without cost. Please let us know if you require documentation of acceptance to the conference or the cancellation of it. Grey Nuns should be an easy cancellation for those who booked there. Airbnb has a COVID-19 policy in place that allows folks who made reservations before March 14, 2020, to receive a full refund. You can read their policy here.
