Keynote speaker: Judith Martin (Miss Manners)

Judith Martin’s Miss Manners newspaper column is carried in more than 200 newspapers in the United States and abroad and has chronicled the continuous rise and fall of American manners since 1978. Readers send Miss Manners not only their table and party questions but also those involving the more complicated aspects of life—romance, work, family relationships, child-rearing, death—as well as philosophical and moral dilemmas.
