2026 Conference Info
The conference will be held in Lanesboro, Minnesota, a historic small town on the banks of the Root River. Workshops will take place at The Stone Mill Inn, and other events will take place within walking distance at other venues in Lanesboro.
Attendees will be asked to turn off cell phones and other devices during workshops and events. The emphasis of this conference is to avoid distractions, and we encourage everyone to turn off (not just silence) cell phones.
