Turning 2025 is the Ohio Valley Woodturners Guild's biennial Symposium. It is held in a unique rural setting away from the usual hassle of a city hotel or conference center. The Higher Ground Conference & Retreat Center in Southeastern Indiana fosters an intimacy not found at other symposia. This environment encourages attendees to stay on site, dine with new and old friends, and enjoy the camaraderie and open sharing of woodturning experience. We expect another well-attended event with more than 250 attendees expected each day.

LODGING
There are on-site lodge rooms, dorms, an RV park & campground, and national chain hotels within a few minutes drive. Higher Ground is also an easy commute for residents of the tristate area. Attendees may enjoy tasty meals in a spacious dining hall where they can discuss the events of the day, get to know the demonstrators and fellow turners and sometimes see local wildlife just outside the windows. 

MEALS
Sign-up and payment are handled completely online. The options are completely ala-carte. You can purchase one day or one meal or up to 3 days and nine meals. Pick and choose what fits you, your schedule or budget.
