Discounted early-bird registration for KansasFest ends on June 1 (this Sunday).  It’s pretty simple: Register before then at https://www.kansasfest.org/registration/.  You’ll get the usual awesome sessions, camaraderie, keynote from Margot Comstock, and good times, and you’ll have more money in your pocket than your buddies who wait a day.

The registration price with a room will go up $55 on June 1 and close on July 10.
