Timing of the conference & U.S.A.Thanksgiving

Hello everyone,

the NeoCraft Conference is being held to celebrate the crafts and also to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Canadian Crafts Council. We are very honoured and excited to be hosting the event at NSCAD University in Halifax.

In planning for the conference, we set the dates at a time which would fit within the celebrations of the Canadian Craft council and the Academic calendar.

It has come to our attention that the NeoCraft conference is happening on the American Thanksgiving holiday weekend. It was not our intention to offend our American friends nor create a situation where they could not attend. It is merely a coincidence. Our Canadian Thanksgiving holiday is so much earlier (October 8 this year.)We hope that many of our US friends will be able to attend despite the holiday.
