The 2020 Wooden Boat Festival has been canceled due to COVID-19
Presentations are a huge part of the Wooden Boat Festival. Since the very first Festival in 1977, there has been a strong educational component. Last year 5400 people attended presentations on 7 stages. We offer an interesting and educational blend of topics each year thanks to our growing list of presenters. Our Presentation Coordinator will be working with presenters to organize, schedule and troubleshoot, and our excellent volunteer AV team trains all year to make the AV run flawlessly.
As appreciation for sharing your talents and skills with us, you will be given a Faculty Festival t-shirt, a beer ticket, and a personalized lanyard that will serve as your 3-day pass.

Presenters who are authors have the option of taking part in the Authors’ Tent where you can sign and sell your own books during the Festival. We try to loosely schedule time in the Authors’ Tent. Our Presenter Captain will be in touch with all authors about scheduling time and table space in the tent.
In addition, there will be a table in the lobby of both NWMC buildings where faculty can meet with their audience members who have questions or want to buy books after your presentation session.
