I am just catching up with the latest news about the conference. As of two days ago, it is completely sold out — great news for the ever-expanding conference! However, if you still want to attend, there is a waiting list for which you can sign up. Read the details at the Popular Woodworking Editors’ Blog. In addition, you can plan to attend the Marketplace, with a record number of vendors invited this year (more than 60!). Instructors? You can read about the sessions each is presenting, at this link. The following image (from the conference web site) is a summary of the impressive talent that will lead the sessions:

Sandy and I have been extremely fortunate to attend all conferences to date. We are planning to attend this one — I am looking forward to seeing all the action! I hope to be able to share some video highlights once again.

From the General Menu for the conference:

Woodworking in America Events provide in-depth explorations of subjects important to woodworkers and are brought to you by the most trusted name in woodworking information— Popular Woodworking Magazine. Presented by leading experts in the fields of woodworking, tools and furniture, our Conference sessions are useful and informative (and also a ton of fun!) for woodworkers of all skill levels and interests. In addition, our Marketplace area lets you try out the newest woodworking tools, talk to their makers and find the right equipment for your workshop.

I have attended all previous WIA conferences (links to videos I shot and edited on the main menu, above). The previous conferences focused mainly on hand tools; this year’s conference will be unique, because if offers a blend of power tools and hand tools. I believe you will enjoy attending, and getting hands-on instruction from well-known experts.

The conference is scheduled for October 1-3 in Cincinnati, OH.

But *you* must provide input by answering questions to a survey; doing so will also qualify you to win a $100 shopping spree at their Woodworkers Bookshop.
