For the most part, no. The keynote and featured speakers and the featured authors will be different. Some regular convention sessions may be repeated, as individuals are allowed to submit proposals for both conventions.

Proposals are being accepted now for Minneapolis. The proposal submission deadline for Phoenix was February 15, 2008. The deadline for Minneapolis is June 1, 2008.
