Additional Information:


This year's Keynote Speaker is Lisa Earle McLeod

The author of Forget Perfect™ and nationally syndicated newspaper columnist, Lisa has been called "Erma Bombeck with an edge." Her unique combination of wicked cultural commentary, insightful advice and laugh-till- you-wet-your pants humor delights audiences and readers.


We are proud to announce this year's Featured Performer Christine Lavin !!

Christine Lavin’s witty songs (most frequently about relationships and modern life), hilarious on-stage presentation (storytelling, twirling glowing batons) and irreverent attitude is the perfect end to a “Forget Perfect” day. Her solo albums include Getting in Touch with My Inner Bitch, The Subway Series, Sometimes Mother Really Does Know Best.
