We are currently planning 2026 SRQ Con.

The online application form is now available for prospective presenters, exhibitors/vendors.

An exhibit/vendor area will be available within Selby Library and may be placed in, near or overlooking our rotunda.

Vendors include local artists and shops.

In 2023, our exhibit/vendor area nearly filled the Selby Library's rotunda.
