Pre-Conference Sessions

Good news. It’s not too late to extend your learning.

 
Although the National Leaders Conference is now sold out, spaces remain in several Pre-Conference Workshops on Saturday, April 11. These full-day sessions offer practical strategies and deeper conversation before the conference begins.
 
Full-day workshops include breakfast and lunch, while half-day sessions include breakfast or lunch.
If you plan to attend a workshop, you can still book a room at the conference hotel: Booking link
