KWE 2027 at Hotel Providence

We are thrilled to share that Kindling Words East will return to Hotel Providence in Providence, Rhode Island, January 21–24, 2027. It’s an exclusive! That’s right, we’ll have the hotel to ourselves, allowing opportunities for even more connection, creativity, conversation, and the kind of community-magic that makes Kindling Words so special. However, we return with a few upgrades! We are happy to share that breakfast will be included this year without raising your cost, giving us one more opportunity to gather and ease into the day! And don’t get me started on how they reduced the parking rate down to $35.00 per night! Did I mention the Thursday evening Meet and Greet with wine and cheese, and an omelet station for Sunday brunch? Let’s go!!!
