IN-PERSON CONVENTION CANCELLED DUE TO COVID-19
RESCHEDULED AS VIRTUAL CONVENTION - SEE DETAILS BELOW

ZGWS 38th Annual Convention
Cooperstown / Oneonta, NY
October, 2020


Unfortunately, the officers and Board of Directors of the Zane Grey's West Society have voted to cancel the in-person 2020 Annual Convention, due to the on-going coronavirus emergency. This was a tough decision, but we're convinced it was the right decision. We have left the 2021 Annual Convention as originally scheduled, to be held in Tucson, AZ, beginning October 10th, 2021. Please check back with us in early 2021 for details.

However, we have also determined to hold a "Virtual Convention" in place of the in-person convention. The "Virtual Convention" will start Sunday, October 11th, and wrap up Thursday, October 15th. The "Virtual Convention" will consist of Vimeo and YouTube videos, plus live Zoom sessions for discussions. Here is the tentative schedule:
