Leather History
Conference
Leather History Conference
Leather History Conference was the dream of Gypsie Wind-Feather Ferris, who founded and produced the first LHC in 2011. She was the producer and creative force driving LHC through it's first 5 years. Because of changes in her family and life situations, she had to step down from producing this important event, and the Leather History Preservation Foundation was created to continue the mission and vision of preserving and sharing our Leather History.
The first LHC was held in Wilmington, NC in 2011. It moved to Greensboro 2012, Winston-Salem in 2013, High Point in 2014, and back to Winston-Salem in 2015. We are pleased to announce that Leather History Conference 2016 will be returning to High Point, NC.
LHC has always been a labor of love, operating on a shoestring budget. Funding has always been an issue, with the first 3 conferences losing money. In 2014 LHC broke even for the first time and 2015 actually left us some start up money for the 2016 conference.
LHC Awards and Recognition
Leather History Conference was recognized with the Pantheon of Leather Small Event of the Year Award for 2012 .
LHC is a Business Member of the Southeast Conference of Clubs.
