To all the people who are currently at the EGA National Seminar in Atlanta, I hope you’re having a wonderful time! I submitted to teach at this seminar, WAAAYYY back, and am now so glad that my classes weren’t selected. I’m simply not well enough. Going all the way to the US for 5 days of very large classes (jetlag included!) is not the same as the quick hop across the ditch for a few days of classes in NZ.
I will keep submitting for EGA National Seminars (I have many times since my first trip in 2019, but haven’t yet hit on a submission that is compelling enough to pass the non-US teacher’s visa requirements again!) because I know that there are many in the US who would like to take a class with me.
I didn’t submit for Texas (2025) as I wasn’t well enough when submissions were due. I’m eagerly waiting to find out where 2026 will be.
Anyway, I hope you’re all having fun, catching up with friends, making new ones, and learning heaps!
