HOMESCHOOL IOWA CONFERENCE


2023 Homeschool Iowa Conference
MidAmerican Energy RecPlex
West Des Moines
June 9-10, 2023

Teaching your children – and helping them to be all that they were created to be – is a challenging, complex journey filled with doubts and joy, despair and love, and everything in between.

You wonder if you're up for this staggeringly formidable task.
The answer is "Yes!" And you're not alone.  We're here for you.


2023 Homeschool Iowa Conference "Welcome Home"

“Welcome Home” to the encouragement and motivation you’ll experience at our 2023 Conference, where you’ll gather new ideas, strategies, vision, and perspective.

Soak in useful information from our outstanding speakers, shop in our expansive exhibit hall, and tap into the special tracks, youth programs, and other custom-designed programming for homeschooling families.

You’ll enjoy an amazing weekend recharging, learning, and connecting. You’ll gain just what you need to walk this beautiful, sometimes challenging, but always incredibly vital homeschooling journey with your family.

Make plans now to join us for our Homeschool Iowa Conference on June 9-10, 2023, in West Des Moines.


Over one thousand people were encouraged and motivated at our "Welcome Home" 2022 Conference, where they gathered new ideas, strategies, vision, and perspective.

Attendees soaked in useful information from our outstanding speakers, shopped in our expansive exhibit hall, and tapped into the special tracks, youth programs, and other custom-designed programming for homeschooling families.

They enjoyed an amazing weekend recharging, learning, and connecting; and they gained just what they needed to walk this beautiful, sometimes challenging, but always incredibly vital homeschooling journey with their families.

Make plans now to join us for next year's Homeschool Iowa Conference on June 9-10, 2023.
