We all had a great time in Yakima, and at the Saturday dinner and keynote address everyone was asking, “So, who’s hosting the next one?”
Well, we can finally announce that the Portland Handweavers Guild will be hosting the ANWG 2027 Conference. The Holiday Inn – Columbia Riverfront has been booked for June 14 – 19, 2027. Many more details will be coming soon, including the conference theme, colors, and committee chairs.
Planning for the conference is well underway, and we’re really excited about it. You can help us make this conference a success by telling your favorite instructors that you want to see them in Portland in 2027, and invite them to submit an application to teach at the conference. The Call for Instructors is up and ready to go. Potential instructors can find information at https://anwgconference.org/call-for-instructors/ including links to the forms for submitting applications and session proposals. And, proposals are now being accepted for both workshops and seminars.
If you want to help with the planning you can contact us at co-chair@anwgconference.org. We still have slots open on the committee and will be looking for help with ribbons, badge holders, and more.
We’re thrilled to be bringing the conference to Portland, and we hope to see you there in 2027!
Dan Steves & Edith Gummer, Conference Co-Chairs
