Are you ready to make 2026 the best year for h+h americas so far?
We need help from our community to build a better h+h americas for 2026. The h+h americas Conference Committee performs the important task of crafting an inclusive, expansive show for everyone who makes a living in the craft industry.
Created and hosted by Craft Industry Alliance, the Conference Committee should reflect the diversity and richness of the crafts industry. We're seeking individuals from our community who are interested in lending their expertise to help shape this year's show. Participation in the Conference Committee is strictly voluntary, but requires a time commitment.
Committee members are expected to attend four 1-hour Zoom meetings where we will work together to shape key aspects of the show. The expectation is that you will have your camera on and be present for the entirety of each meeting. Committee members will receive materials to be reviewed in advance of each meeting.
The Conference Committee for 2025 meets according to the following schedule:
- September 15, 1 pm EST/ 10 am PST– h+h University planning
- October 20, 1pm EST/ 10am PST – Business Classes planning
- November 17, 1 pm EST/10 am PST – Main Stage and Keynotes
- January 12, 1 pm EST/ 10 am PST – Marketing the Show
Some committee members may opt to meet in between meetings to work through or fine-tune various aspects of the show. These meetings are optional.
Planning Committee members will receive free entry to the show and a complimentary class pass to attend any of the sessions free of charge. (Have a question? Email us: abby@craftindustryalliance.org)
