PSI ANNUAL EVENTS

PSI Spring Fling Annual Convention

Find out more about Spring Fling here: https://www.poetrysocietyofindiana.org/spring-fling.html​
Spring Fling is held annually in late April, and is a one-day conference hosted by PSI. Besides our business meeting, which is always an essential part of the day for PSI members, we offer workshops and presentations to grow your skills as a poet and opportunities to share your own works. Most of all, we offer a supportive artistic and social environment. We also encourage student poets, especially those interested in the annual Manningham Student Poetry Contest, to attend. The conference is open to the public to register and attend.

PSI Fall Rendezvous Annual Convention

Find out more about Fall Rendezvous here: ​www.poetrysocietyofindiana.org/fall-rendezvous.html
Each year we gather in the October for our annual Fall Rendezvous weekend convention for poetry-related workshops, presentations, the announcement of our PSI Annual Poetry Contest winners, and a lot of Round Robin poetry sharing. The conference is open to the public to register and attend.

The COVID-19 Pandemic has spurred us to use Zoom for several of our annual conventions AND our First Tuesdays Members-Only Month Meeting. Need help using Zoom? Check out this easy tutorial created back in 2020 by PSI Member Sarah E Morin (you can easily ignore all the outdated 2020 Fall Rendezvous registration info):​


Other State and national gatherings are a great way to hone your craft, be inspired by poetry, and fellowship with other poets.
