Thanks so much to all who made our 2009 Gathering our best yet. Our first 3-day conference featured 18 excellent workshops and 12 stellar official showcase artists, an inspired key note address by Claudia Schmidt, the premier of our Thursday night Invitational Showcase sponsored by Fran Snyder & concertsinyourhome.com and a newly formatted Performance Lane. The feedback was all positive and we'll be returning to Bolingbrook for our 2010 Gathering with what we expect to be an even better conference next fall. So...

The FARM 2010 Gathering will take place October 7 through October 10 at the Holiday Inn Hotel & Suites Bolingbrook, Bolingbrook, IL. Stay tuned for updates as they happen. You may also click on the Contact Us page to sign up to receive our e-newsletter.

In the meantime, we're actively seeking volunteers to join the conference planning team. If you're interested in participating on a committee, volunteering to help at the conference or just want to make a suggestion please get in touch with us.

Looking forward to a great year in the Midwest!
