is July 16-23 in Indianapolis (Indiana, USA).
Are you registered +/or planning to visit for a day?
Personally, I've not attended a convention.
Last I checked the web page, there were still some classes that were not full. In addition to classes, there will be special presentations .... display room.... local tours.... vendors.... lace contest .... tat off.... teacher showcase.... sounds like a wonderful week.
The theme is
