Staging Conferences on a Rotating Basis
Every attempt is made to stage the conferences around the region on a rotating basis so that every guild member can have a reasonable expectation of a conference being offered somewhere near their home at some time. Each conference, while containing the major elements common to all conferences, emphasizes the sharing in the comradery and enthusiasm of those with a common love of the textile arts, and reflects the unique nature of that location. This sometimes includes community activities or cultural events which will enhance the conference experience or provide some diversion for family members or traveling companions who are not registered for conference activities.

The purpose of these on-line Conference schedules is to provide a report of the current status of the conference planning. Please feel free to visit often, as the information will change as the conference planning progresses.
