Welcome to the Fiber Connections 2023 ANWG Conference!\u00a0 We\u2019re so happy you\u2019re here or are on your way.\u00a0 Today is the first day of workshops which go on through Thursday.\u00a0 Half-day seminars are Friday and Saturday.\u00a0 Virtual Seminars and their zoom option also happen Friday and Saturday in the Riverhouse Convention Center classroom Cascade B, right off the lobby.<\/p>\n
We visited several local restaurants and advised them of our conference and increased business.\u00a0 Most area restaurants are still struggling to hire and retain staff.\u00a0 Please be patient with all restaurant servers and staff throughout the week.\u00a0 They all assured us they will do their best to serve our attendees.\u00a0 Reservations are a very good idea for all meals this week.\u00a0 Many local restaurants have online ordering, so you can order ahead and pick it up later.<\/p>\n
Today from 5:30-7:30 PM<\/strong> we are hosting the Marg Johansen Tapestry Exhibit Reception for Conference attendees at the Central Oregon Community College Barber Library.\u00a0 This is a must-see exhibit that will be open in Bend until August 29.\u00a0 Vans will make round trips between the front entrance of the Convention Center and the library during these 2 hours. Please provide a cash gratuity to the driver upon returning to the Riverhouse.\u00a0 Take this opportunity to view a wonderful exhibit and be inspired to try tapestry!\u00a0 If you want to drive to the exhibit later in the week, it\u2019s just 4 miles up Mt. Washington Drive from the Convention Center.\u00a0 Signs will direct you to turn left onto Regency St., and then a right into the library parking lot.<\/p>\n Workshops and seminars schedules<\/strong> and room assignments are available below.\u00a0 You may want to download these and save to your device or print them.\u00a0 Your registration packet will also have your schedule, times, and the room assignments.<\/p>\n Schedule and room locations for all workshops<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n
