Covid Policy
The Quills Conference is a hybrid event. For the safety of speakers and attendees, we highly recommend COVID vaccinations and antigen testing before attending. Masks are also strongly recommended. If you are experiencing flu-like symptoms, or you've been exposed to anyone with a respiratory illness, we ask that you attend virtually the day of the conference. (Subject to change based on current public health policies and infectious disease statistics).
