The 2023 Fiber Connections Conference Committee is pleased to announce the hotel information for the 3 conference hotels in Bend for next June.

The primary conference location, Riverhouse Hotel and Convention Center, has a large block of 4 different types of rooms, some with river views and various bed configurations.  You can book online for the dates June 11-17, 2023.  The conference room rates are also available for 3 days before and after the conference, but to add those dates to your reservation requires calling the hotel.  The information/reservation page for the Riverhouse is here:  https://anwgconference.org/archive/2023//riverhouse-hotel/

The third hotel we are using for one conference instructor and her two workshops is the Element by Westin.  This new hotel has one meeting room where Linda Kubik will be teaching her workshops.  We expect that the students registered for Linda Kubik’s 3-day sewing workshop “Tailoring a Handwoven Jacket” and perhaps her 1-day workshop “Homemade vs. Handmade”, tailoring seams and finishing edges will want to stay in this hotel.  Her 2 seminars on Saturday will be at the Riverhouse Convention Center.

The hotel is 1.3 miles from the Riverhouse Convention Center.  Walking time is about 25 min., driving is 5 minutes.  There is a map on their reservation page.  This hotel is 3 blocks from the heart of downtown Bend and features a full kitchen in each room.  The rate is available June 9-19. The information/reservation page for the Element is here:
