A brief history of NORWAC
The Northwest Astrological Conference, or NORWAC, was
founded by Margaret (known to all as Maggie) Nalbandian, on March 23, 1984, at
12:45 pm in Seattle, Washington.
Maggie first began formulating the idea for this conference
because she wanted something different than what was out there; a conference
that didn’t feel like a conference, but more like a family gathering. A place
where speakers and attendees could mingle together, sharing ideas and converse
in a more relaxed and intimate environment. This is why we still sit down to
our banquet meals as equals; no separate tables for speakers or attendees,
staying true to Maggie’s original vision.
Joined by her daughter, Laura Nalbandian, they collaborated
to bring astrologers from all over the world to speak, as well as inviting
local artisans and others to participate in the Trade Show, along with the
family bookstore Astrology Et Al, which is now owned and operated by her son, Gregory
Nalbandian.
Now celebrating its 36 year in the Pacific Northwest, NORWAC
has earned a reputation for providing stellar lectures/speakers, as well as
being one of the most beloved astrology conferences in the astrological
community.
We are a fully family run conference, with our coordinator
Laura Nalbandian, her daughter Jen, her son Aaron, and her brother Gregory, who
are all directly involved in bringing this event to the PNW each year.
And for the first time ever, NORWAC has gone completely
virtual, in order to bring our unique conference to the world despite the
current world circumstances. This will be the very first time any astrological
conference has been presented on this scale and we could not be more excited.
See you there!
