Symposium and Banquet/Auction Gala Registration

• The symposium is open to anyone with an interest in woodturning. The full registration fee includes demonstrations, Instant Gallery, trade show and auctions.
• Many areas at the Symposium are open to the public, and do not require registration. These areas include the Instant Gallery, Trade Show, all of the Special Exhibits, and the Educational Opportunity Grant (EOG) auction. The banquet requires a ticket, but after the banquet, the doors will be opened to the public, so galleries and collectors who may not want to attend other symposium functions can bid on EOG auction items.
• Technical and Vocational Ed teacher's symposium registration fee (not including banquet ticket) will be waived upon request - AAW membership required. A Technical and Vocational Ed teacher is defined as: one who works in these fields full-time, and in an accredited public or private grade school, jr high/high school, technical school or college. If you qualify, give the AAW office a call at 651-484-9094 to register.
