The 2027 Annual Conference of the Masonry Heater Association of North America (MHA) will be held April 12th through the 18th at Wildacres Retreat in Western North Carolina. The conference is a week-long event offering educational opportunities for professional masons, architects, and contractors, as well as for wood-fired oven enthusiasts and homeowners. This all-inclusive event includes:

  • Lodging (at double occupancy)

  • All meals (starting with dinner on Monday, April 12th, through breakfast on Sunday, April 18th)

  • Morning coffee/tea

  • Seminars

  • Clinics

All-inclusive registration for the Conference is $795/person at double-occupancy for current MHA members. (There is a supplemental cost for those taking the Basics and Theory training course.)

The Conference frequently sells out, and registration each year is on a first-come, first-served basis.
