International Comic Arts Forum Postponed for One Year

This announcement appeared on the Comics Scholars Discussion List today. While it's sad there won't be an ICAF 2010, I look forward to hearing about their big plans for 2011. (I was the chair of ICAF for a couple of years about a decade ago.)

---FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE---

30 March 2010

Announcement from The International Comic Arts Forum (ICAF)

The International Comic Arts Forum (ICAF), the foremost gathering for international comics studies and scholarship, has decided to postpone its annual conference for 2010 until 2011.

The 2011 conference will observe the 15th Anniversary of ICAF, and the Executive Committee has concluded that postponing for the 2010 calendar year will allow the organization to plan for a large and special 2011 event.

Please stay tuned for more details soon.  For interested students and scholars, the CFP will be released later this year, as will more details on the 15th Anniversary Themes, Guests, and Special Events.
