About the The Conference

users and their families detect and avoid some of the most

In response to feedback from last year's conference, we have
broken this year's conference into several sessions. You can
either choose to attend a single session of your choice or
attend all day! Pricing has also been modified to reflect
this change in attendance options. Included in this pricing are
price breaks for military, students and our senior citizens.
Day care will also be provided this year
All proceeds from this year's conference will go to the Mary
Maude Williams Scholarship Fund. This scholarship fund helps
disadvantaged youth offset the costs associated with attending
institutions of higher education.
