300 wristbands for Leigh Bardugo’s signing will be handed out at 9 am on Saturday morning. The line for these wristbands will be next to the Music Hall. You cannot pick up multiple wristbands as an individual in line. One wristband per person. Your wristband guarantees your place in the signing line. Wristbanded attendees will have the opportunity to get one of their books signed by Leigh. No posed photos.
The wristband line will also then serve as the line for entry into the keynote. If you do not have a ticket to attend the keynote, you may get in line still to try and get a wristband, and then just pop out of line once all wristbands have been distributed.
