Lectures, Demos & Other Stuff

You have a large selection of interesting lectures and forums and other fun stuff you can attend. Of course, concerts and special activities are included in your registration. Some lectures are also open to the general public and will be posted on the Exhibitor page. We have discontinued the "Non-harping companion" admission this year because we are not on-site in Parsippany due to the pandemic. Refunds will be made in May. The schedule below will be revised in June. Click on the list to read the full description.
