June 25–28 EDT, Online
Welcome to the OrigamiUSA Convention 2021! Due to COVID, Convention 2021 will be held entirely online.
The cost of registration is $65. OrigamiUSA members will receive a $15 discount. Just as in an in-person convention, there will be multiple "rooms," at least 10, and your registration fee lets you choose to attend any class in any room. You won't need to select individual classes; you can just drop in on any. You'll get access to all of the class recordings after the event.
We are inviting attendees to teach online classes. This is a unique opportunity for anyone, anywhere to apply to teach at an online Convention!
Note that the classes for all three days will be mixed between models, lectures, demonstrations and panels. There is no longer the restriction of past Conventions of models on Saturday and Sunday, all other classes on Monday.
