FLORIDA WOODTURNING SYMPOSIUM INC.
OCALA, FLORIDA

The Florida Woodturning Symposium Inc., founded in December 2001, is recognized as the largest woodturning event in Florida. Originating from collaborative efforts by three Florida Chapters of the American Association of Woodturners (AAW), seven AAW chapters now oversee this annual symposium held at Lake Yale Baptist Conference Center near Eustis and Leesburg on County Road 452. Over the years, attendance has consistently increased owing to its high-quality demonstrators and interactive Hands-on Workshops. This self-contained, wooded campus hosts participants for a transformative two-and-a-half-day experience dedicated exclusively to woodturning. The symposium's mission is focused on promoting the art of woodturning through both this premier event and various related activities throughout the year. Held annually, it offers attendees access not only to demonstrations but also rotation sessions, trade shows, galleries, and even an auction designed to support educational endeavors within the field. Registrant information is managed with strict adherence to security protocols, ensuring personal data privacy. A suite of policies governs events at the site to enhance attendee experience by clarifying registration guidelines, accommodation specifics, and symposium rules. For administrative needs during the event, assistance roles are detailed for smooth operation across key areas such as registration, demonstrations, and gallery management. As a corporate entity recorded under Florida law, the company is incorporated with a mailing address at 15602 SW 13th Circle, Ocala, FL.
