One of the nation’s largest writers’ conventions and book fairs is coming to Baltimore next year.
The Association of Writers & Writing Programs (AWP) will have its 2026 Conference & Bookfair at the Baltimore Convention Center from March 4 to 7, 2026, and organizers have begun registering attendees.
The prestigious four-day event typically draws between 8,000 to 10,000 attendees, making it a can’t-miss weekend for the literary community and providing an economic boost for its host city. This year’s event in Los Angeles drew 10,000 people. The 2023 conference in Seattle drew more than 9,000. Baltimore has only hosted it once before, in 2003.
“The AWP Conference & Bookfair is the essential gathering for writers, teachers, students, editors and publishers,” the organization says on its webs
