For more than 30 years, Timber Framers Guild conferences have been bringing together the timber\u00a0framing community from across North America and as far away as Australia, Denmark, England,\u00a0France, Germany and Japan. Each year, timber frame craftsmen, contractors, and suppliers come\u00a0together to be energized, renewed, and to learn more about perfecting our craft and building better\u00a0timber frames.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe conference will mark thirty-one years of heritage, history, and shared learning experiences from\u00a0the best the industry has to offer,\u201d said Jeff Arvin, Timber Framers Guild Executive Director.<\/p>\n

The overall mission of the conference is to provide a dramatic and powerful statement of learning and\u00a0inspiration to all the timber framing community. Attendees will have the opportunity to develop skills\u00a0for creating timber frames and to learn about the most recent envelope technology, industry\u00a0products, and business fundamentals.<\/p>\n
