About the Biennial Conference
The National League of American Pen Women’s Biennial Conference brings members from across the country together every two years to celebrate the arts and connect with fellow Pen Women. The conference offers opportunities to learn, create, share ideas, showcase talent, and build connections through workshops, presentations, performances, social events, and other creative experiences. In 2028, the Sarasota Branch is excited to bring this tradition to Florida and showcase our community’s vibrant arts and cultural scene.
Now for the 53rd year, the planning has begun! We are still working behind the scenes to make the 2028 Biennial a memorable experience. More information is coming soon!
