The Spring Conference is the CBA’s largest annual gathering, featuring demonstrations, open forging, and much more.

Spring Conference is our largest annual event and travels throughout the state. On average, CBA Spring Conferences draw 400-500 people, include demonstrators from overseas, showcase renowned US smiths, host a gallery and include a Saturday night Banquet followed by an Auction. The Education Committee provides ongoing hands-on programs with multiple forging stations. California cities that have hosted CBA recently include; Ferndale, Petaluma and Vista.

The 2012 Spring Conference will be located in Petaluma, CA at the Sonoma-Marin Fairgrounds. This event runs April 27 – 28th and because of it’s central location is usually well attended.

Thanks everyone for making Spring Conference 2011 in Vista so memorable!
