There's not usually a list beforehand, but you can pretty much count on all the biggies (***in no particular order*** The Lacemaker, Kathy Kirchner, Lacy Susan, Van Sciver Bobbin Lace, Mayra's Threads, Kenn van Dieren, Mary Provencher (don't know her business name), and several antique lace vendors). There's often also Simon Toustou, Grandstaff bobbins, John Aebi woodworking, Tom Clark glass bobbins, Acorn bobbins, Stuart Johnson bobbins, and others whose names are escaping me now. There are always some locals, too. Pat Hallam is teaching, so Roseground should be there from England. I know there are others-- usually one or more ballroom-size rooms full!!!! (Note to all Arachnean suppliers who go to IOLI conventions: I apologize if I forgot to include you--my memory is terrible and it was not meant as a slight.) It's a chance to examine loads of books you may have heard of and see books you haven't heard of, compare bobbin and pillow styles, make friends with the dealers and get their catalogues, and generally have a lace-supply orgy!
