(APWU 28th Biennial Convention)

The Research & Education Department will sponsor twenty-four Pre-Convention Workshops on Friday, August 14, 2026, prior to the start of the craft conferences and national convention at the Los Angeles Convention Center. Full-day workshops will be offered from (10 am- 5:30 pm) and half- day workshops will be offered from (10 am-1 pm) and from (2:30 pm-5:30 pm).

Participants are encouraged to register early, as classroom space is limited. Participants may sign up for workshops after arriving in Los Angeles, but will have limited choices of workshops, as many will already be filled.
