The Baker Street Irregulars will hold its January 2024 events in person in New York City starting on Thursday, January 11, 2024. As usual, many events will be open to all Sherlockians, and we will also have special tax-free group rates for hotel lodgings.
Official BSI events that will be open to the public include the BSI Distinguished Speaker Lecture (Thursday), the Merchants Room (Saturday), and the BSI Luncheon Reception (Saturday).
Public reservations for hotel lodgings and BSI events will open via our website beginning Wednesday, November 22, 2023. Payment is only via postal mail and the deadline will be December 4, so plan to act quickly. Updated: See our 2024 BSI Weekend Registration page for event details.
Vendors interested in selling Sherlockiana in the Merchant’s Room should contact Ralph and Debbie Hall at bugmanhall@aol.com or 2906 Wallingford Court, Louisville, KY 40218 or by phone at 502-491-3148. Space is limited and will be reserved on a first-come, first-served basis.
