How should I dress for the conference?
The dress code is casual (jeans, slacks). Rooms vary in temperature, so we recommend dressing in layers or bringing a sweater.
Is child care provided? Will there be a program for children and youth?
There is no children’s program this year
Can I bring my child to a workshop?
In an effort to minimize potential distractions, we ask that parents and caregivers refrain from bringing children to sessions.
What is the difference between a CEU and a certificate of attendance?
A CEU is a unit of continuing education recorded on a transcript at a college or university. Many professionals need CEUs to stay licensed. A certificate of attendance says you were at the conference for a certain number of hours (often adequate for parent training requirements). Check with your agency to see if you need CEUs.
