IABANY Bloomsday Celebration 2017

Please join us for IABANY's Eighth Annual Bloomsday Celebration and John Quinn Memorial Address on June 13th, 2016 at 6:30pm at the beautiful and historic Federal Hall, the site where George Washington was inaugurated as the First President of the United States, to honor James Joyce, his epic novel Ulysses, and its contribution to U.S. First Amendment jurisprudence.

We are delighted that David McCraw, Vice President and Deputy General Counsel for the New York Times, will be our keynote speaker, presenting an address entitled: "Two Facts Walked into a Bar…Truly True Tales of Fake News and the First Amendment in the Age of Twitter."

Mr. McCraw will be introduced by Pulitzer-winning New York Times journalist, Jim Dwyer. The presentation will be bookended by a reception with an open bar and passed hors d'oeuvres, along with live traditional Irish music. This event always sells out!
