Central Print

Doors at 8:30 AM, first session at 9:15, done by 5:15. The exact sessions come from the board, so the detailed plan arrives a few weeks before.

Morning: Coffee, check-in, and the lightning share-out: three minutes and one slide each, so you know who's in the room.
Midday: The first block of hands-on sessions, then a long-table lunch and the print exchange.
Afternoon: Two more session blocks with a coffee and ink break between them, and a short closing.
Evening: Print, Paper & Pour. The celebration continues at a nearby taproom.

Share what you want to learn

Stick a note on the board. One thing per note, as specific as you like.
Add a sticker to notes you want too

Every “I want this” is a signal. Emoji are just for fun.
Say what you already know

If a note is something you could show someone, mark it. No commitment, we'll ask.
We build the day from it

A few weeks out we turn the most-wanted notes with someone who knows into sessions, and send everyone the plan.

How do I register?: Registration is open. Register here. It closes March 1, and it may fill before then.
Do I need to register to use the board?: No. The board is free and open to anyone, before, during, and after registration. Signing in is just an email link, no password and no registration. Registering is only for coming on the day.
Can I lead a session?: Yes. If a note on the board is something you know, say so. We'll reach out about turning it into a workshop, demo, or roundtable, and the conference covers supplies within reason.
When do we find out the sessions?: The board stays open for a while. A few weeks before the event we set the sessions from what people want and who knows it, and send everyone the plan.
I'm a student and the fee is a stretch.: We hold 3 free registrations for university students. Applications are due by December 15. Apply for a scholarship; it takes two minutes.
How do I pick my sessions?: Several sessions run at the same time. We publish the list before the event, and you build your own schedule from it.
Can I change my mind on the day?: Yes. Your schedule is a plan, not a rule. If another session turns out to be the one you need, walk over.
What does it cost?: $30 through December 31, then $35 until registration closes March 1. That covers a full day of sessions, lunch, and materials. We keep it low on purpose so more people can come.
