We are excited to welcome Durenda Wilson, David and Shirley Quine, and Jeannie Fulbright as our keynote speakers this year!

Click on their images above to read more about them and the topics they'll be addressing. You'll find our entire speaker lineup there.

We still offer two-day conference registration for everyone, but, for our members, we also offer one-day registration. You can choose the Friday-only option or the Saturday-only option if your schedule does not allow you to take advantage of both days of the conference.

Our one-day registrations allow access to all of the workshops on that day, as well as admission to the conference exhibit hall area.

You will find all of these options, the prices, and the registration form on the Conference Registration web page.

Our 2022 Conference features three Special Tracks focused on targeted topics of interest to homeschooling families.

Once again, we are offering our Make & Take workshops in which you can complete a special project or enjoy a unique experience for a small extra fee.

These workshops are great to attend on your own or with a friend. They offer a chance to learn something new for yourself or to share with your family later.
