JohnnyNoName Posted March 21, 2012 Report Posted March 21, 2012 Has anyone heard any more news about the WIA conferences this year? I would like to go this year, but last year I left thinking "Am I a better woodworker after attending?" I am thinking of going to a week long class at one of the many woodworking schools instead of WIA, but I'd rather make a decision with all of the information, like what they are having at each of the conferences. Unfortunatley, the woodworking schools tend to fill up fast, and I don't know if I can wait until they "revea" what is going to be at Cincinatti and Pasadena. If anyone knows more specifics about either of the WIA venues, it would help a lot. Jonathan =============================================== Quote
Vic Posted March 21, 2012 Report Posted March 21, 2012 I'm probably gonna go to the Pasadena one, but have not yet heard of any classes/seminars yet. I am taking a bending class in the beginning of June. I can't wait!! It's at the Port Townsend School of Woodworking with Seth Rolland. Quote
JohnnyNoName Posted March 23, 2012 Author Report Posted March 23, 2012 There has been a little bit of news on the two different conferences. David Marks and The Schwarz will be in Pasadena, Chris Buchanan and The Schwarz will be in Cincinnati. http://www.popularwoodworking.com/woodworking-blogs/editors-blog/woodworking-in-america-presenter-preview-and-registration-news Jonathan ================================= Quote
Bob Lang Posted March 24, 2012 Report Posted March 24, 2012 It shouldn't be too much longer, we're waiting for a few signatures on contracts. The complete line up will be an impressive group. Keep your eye on the PopWood blog, or sign up for the Woodworking in America Newsletter and you'll be among the first to know. Bob Lang Quote

I've signed up, I was just thinking maybe someone had an inside scoop. (winl wink, nudge nudge) Jonathan ====================================== Quote
PaulMarcel Posted March 25, 2012 Report Posted March 25, 2012 A bird told me Paul Schurch will be doing 2 days of classes in Pasadena. Quote
Vic Posted March 25, 2012 Report Posted March 25, 2012 Awesome! I love Paul. I'll have to bug him to confirm and see what he's going to present, specifically. A bird told me Paul Schurch will be doing 2 days of classes in Pasadena. Quote
Joraft Posted March 26, 2012 Report Posted March 26, 2012 Here's a scoop for ya. I'll be at the Pasadena conference. Paul-Marcel, you're going to be at which one, or maybe both? I'm getting a lot of pressure to head to Cinci also. 1 Quote
jHop Posted May 16, 2012 Report Posted May 16, 2012 I will not be going to either, but I look forward to what people have to say about their time at either one. Quote
thewoodwhisperer Posted May 16, 2012 Report Posted May 16, 2012 I think either one will be an awesome experience. But I'm gonna be in sunny Pasadena! w00t! Quote
Joraft Posted May 16, 2012 Report Posted May 16, 2012 I've gone every year to the ones in the East, and always had a great time. Having a Pasadena show will be a big money saver for me, since I'm close enough to drive in every day. The trips back East wind up costing a lot (flying, hotel, food, classes and partying), and that's not including tool purchases. Quote
