Industry-Only Roundtable 2026

Are you ready to strengthen your business, expand your network and contribute to the future of the Australian yarn craft industry?

Our 2026 Industry-Only Day offers a powerful new format designed to bring together yarn store owners, indie dyers, designers, tutors, educators, allied professionals and anyone shaping our sector. This collaborative half-day event focuses on real, practical conversations about the challenges and opportunities facing yarn businesses today and how we can work together to create sustainable, inclusive growth across the industry.

This year, instead of keynote speakers, we’re hosting a guided industry round-table, giving every attendee the opportunity to participate, share insights and learn from peers. You’ll explore the realities of running a yarn-based business in Australia, from customer engagement and pricing to sourcing, sustainability, mental health, accessibility, innovation and long-term resilience. With space for open conversation, reflection and idea-sharing, this workshop creates the ideal environment for collaboration, connection and problem-solving.

We will discuss how our industry can better collaborate, amplify one another’s work and support growth across all areas of yarn craft. Whether you’re an emerging business or an established name, this session gives you the chance to contribute your voice to important industry-wide discussions.

Your ticket includes:

• Four hours of guided round-table discussion and peer-to-peer learning

• Over one hour of networking

• Morning tea

• Lunch

• Coffee & tea

• Access to shared insights and take-home notes

This Industry-Only Day is the ultimate opportunity for yarn professionals and yarn-adjacent businesses to connect, collaborate and grow. If you’re ready to build stronger relationships, gain clarity in your business and contribute to the future of the Australian yarn craft community, this event is for you.
