Woodworking in America is Back!
We’re thrilled to announce that Woodworking in America returns this fall with an incredible lineup of expert presenters! Mark your calendars for October 9th & 10th, 2026, as we bring together the best of woodworking education, inspiration, and community.
Since our last gathering in 2025, we’ve been eager to reunite with fellow woodworkers. And this time, we’re bigger and better than ever! Woodsmith, Popular Woodworking, and Fine Woodworking have teamed up to create the ultimate woodworking experience—giving you the opportunity to connect with top experts and editorial teams from all three magazines in one place.
Join us in Des Moines, IA, home to Woodsmith and Popular Woodworking, for two days packed with workshops, demonstrations, and camaraderie. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or just starting out, Woodworking in America 2026 is an event you won’t want to miss!
