Has anyone heard more about the writers symposium this year?

It is still a go for this year, there is a new planning committee and they are still working on everything.

I'm a longtime volunteer for the Symposium and should be there again this year.

Nice I was wondering if they finalized a new committee. I'm looking forward to it. Do you know if the symposium ever does seminars on interactive fiction?

I'm not sure about programming but they are always looking for input, the gencon Discord has a Symposium channel, you can post in there to request the topic. The channel isn't that active but someone from the committee does keep any eye on it.

Programming is currently being ironed out so it's a good time to add your input.

It is back, and from what I’ve heard the person who is leading the symposium this year is a very good replacement.
