Organizers expect numbers to increase substantially this year. In addition, speciality vendor booths will offer books, music, clothing, jewelry, arts and crafts from Celtic countries that are not readily available elsewhere. A conference highlight is the Exceptional Celtic Woman Award presented annually to celebrate, honour and inspire women of Celtic heritage throughout the world. The first award, made in 1999, went to novelist and Nobel Prize nominee Morgan Llywelyn. CWI welcomes men as well as women who are Celtic or who are interested in Celtic culture and in celebrating the accomplishments of women of that culture.
