        Welcome to the ultimate international fiber art experience: Handweavers Guild of America, Inc.’s (HGA) Convergence® conference! We’ve planned an exciting week of activities and events. Join fellow fiber art enthusiasts in the immersive Convergence® experience:

        • Feel inspired by exhibits featuring the work of artists from around the world
        • Indulge in seminars and workshops taught by prestigious and innovative leaders in the fiber arts

        Convergence® will be held at the Sheraton in New Orleans, Louisiana.

        Experience the unmatched beauty of New Orleans—where history, music, food, and celebration come together like nowhere else in the United States. From the lively sounds of jazz in the French Quarter to stunning Creole architecture, mouthwatering cuisine, and world-famous festivals, this city captivates at every turn. Whether you're strolling under the oak trees, savoring beignets, or dancing in a second line parade, there's no place quite like NOLA.

        New Orleans' award-winning airport, Louis Armstrong New Orleans Airport (MSY), currently hosts 15 airlines, serving over 50 nonstop destinations.

        The New Orleans Streetcar offers easy transportation to explore many of New Orleans’ popular districts and businesses.
