This conference is for you, parents and educators, families, and schools - to support and empower all those engaged in raising and educating the youth of today.
Breakout session topics are of interest to educators and teachers, parents of children from toddlers to teens, couples, single parents, grandparents, foster parents, and families of all types. Attendees will find workshops in English, Japanese and Spanish, and workshop topics on a wide variety of topics including health, self-care, discipline, communication, consequences, and building family and classroom connection.
Attendees will be inspired by morning keynote speaker, Pam Dunn, author, speaker, and emerging leader within the human potential movement, and touched by afternoon keynote speaker Chris Brickler, the director of the Emmy-nominated documentary on love and relationships, “How Will We Love?“
In addition to these two nationally regarded, entertaining and informative keynote speakers, there will be a wide variety of educational panel breakout sessions. The day features a new "Author Alley" with book signings by local artists and creators, live music, a Vendor Resource Mart, and plenty of time for visiting and networking. The Vendor Resource Mart is open to the public at no charge from 10AM to 3PM. Live music is provided by Remba Kids.
