September 2026 has been postponed
The September 2026 Event has been canceled. After careful consideration, leadership has determined that the time is right to step back, refocus the event's vision, and return with something stronger.
We are deeply grateful to our vendors, volunteers, exhibitors, and partners for everything you have invested in this event. That commitment is not lost on us — it is precisely why we want to get this right.
Moving forward, leadership will conduct a comprehensive review of the event's structure, scope, and direction. This process will include a rebrand under a new name and identity, to be announced in the coming weeks. Volunteers and committee members will be invited into the restructuring process and your institutional knowledge will be essential.
We appreciate your patience as we work through this transition. Our goal is to return with an event that better serves this community and honors the full breadth of craft traditions we represent.
