Martin Schneider writes:
In lieu of the regular New Yorker Conference that has taken place in early May the last two years, The New Yorker will be hosting a somewhat more urgent event befitting our nervous times. Called "The Next 100 Days," the New Yorker Summit evokes FDR's first 100 days in office in 1933, an implicit nod to the daunting challenges we face in 2009.
Quoth the magazine: "The New Yorker convenes today's most prominent thinkers and decision-makers to address the unprecedented challenges facing the new Administration, and to detail their visions for the future, in discussion with New Yorker writers."

In other steep-priced conferences we wish we could go to: Jon Lee Anderson and TNY Senior Editor Amy Davidson are both speaking at the March 20-22 Neiman Conference on Narrative Journalism in Boston.
