"Fiber Footprints"
We are pleased to announce "Fiber Footprints", the 2011 ASDP National Educational Conference in Portland OR, October 12- 18. Join us to expand your skills and horizons, network with talented professional colleagues and celebrate the 20th anniversary of the founding of our organization!
 The 3-day core conference is full of excellent opportunities to explore new directions for your business, be inspired by the fabulous fashion show and the entries in the Threads Magazine “Zero Waste” Challenge, toast the Lifetime Achievement Award Honoree, Pati Palmer, at a glittering reception, and re- live ASDP’s best moments and accomplishments at a 20th Anniversary Celebration Banquet.
We return to Portland in this special anniversary year leaving a new set of “green” fiber footprints in the place where our national organization was first realized. It is a lovely city, full of creative artisanal energy and fabulous fabric stores! Come early or stay an extra day or two to see the sights on one of our four tours or build up your business and sewing skill sets in one of the six master classes available for exceptional small group learning.
Remember to mark your calendar and save the dates October 12-18, 2011. You won't want to miss the networking, fellowship, great learning opportunities, and of course fabric shopping in Portland! We look forward to seeing you there.
