THE CONCLAVE

Each year the Miniature Book Society hosts an annual gathering of its members referred to as a Conclave. The Conclave — typically a three-day event — is held every autumn in a different city and is eagerly anticipated by the members. Conclaves have been held in Princeton (NJ), San Diego (CA), Seattle (WA), New Orleans (LA), Dublin, Ireland, and Amsterdam, Netherlands. Most recently, our Conclave was held virtually with a full schedule of events and presentations. Attendees look forward to guest speakers, tours, workshops, book auctions, a book swap and an all-day book fair, but most of all, connecting with fellow miniature book enthusiasts and the camaraderie that miniature book lovers share.
