Register now for the 2022 AWCI Fall Symposium!!
It is that time of year again – time to get together and celebrate AWCI, its efforts and its mission!
The 2022 AWCI Fall Symposium takes place September 29-October 1 at AWCI headquarters outside of Cincinnati, Ohio, with the goal to bring its members and others in the horological community together for a weekend of fellowship, learning and planning for the future.
Among the programs to take place during the three-day event, which marks the 62nd anniversary of AWCI’s founding, will include presentations on slide rest maintenance; presentations on lubricants; the testing the tolerances of a watchmaker’s lathe from a new horological tool company, along with a gear cutting session on that very lathe; and a panel discussion on the topic of what needs to be done to get more young watchmakers into repair shops.
Also being worked on as possibilities for the event are a business class; a potential clock case class; a watch sales/tool market; presentations on depthing tools and gearing, along with pivot straightening; and more.
Taking place will also be AWCI’s annual in-person meeting of its Board of Directors, along with the swearing in of two of its new board members – Mike Creasey and Scott Walters. AWCI’s Affiliate Chapter and Industry Advisory Board will also hold their annual meetings, the awardees of the 2022 Harold J. and Marie Borneman Greenwood Memorial Fund Grants will be announced, the winner of the bidding on the vintage rolltop watchmakers bench by the AWCI Education Library and Museum (ELM) Trust will be announced, and more.
That's only a sampling of the programming for the AWCI Fall Symposium, as more is still being worked on for the event. Registration is now open for those wanting to attend – the cost is $150 per person, which includes all activities and meals, including the Saturday night dinner, taking place at the event.
