Deadline it up, y’all – please feel free to drop me a line if you’ve seen any that aren’t listed. As usual, it’s my ad-hoc list of upcoming opportunities to exhibit, learn, earn or perhaps even teach, from wherever I see ‘em.
Looking for love in all the wrong places? Lamenting that there’s fewer fine deadlines for you fine folk in The Britain? Might I suggest you sign up to the benchpeg newsletter, as they do what I do here, except, you know, professionally!
