About the Conference Program

When considering which session to attend be aware that most sessions will address more than one strand so be sure to look at the full descriptions.

Cookies and Conversations on Thursday are designed to give attendees the opportunity to network with others who have similar job responsibilities. You may choose any of the sessions to attend, so if you are more interested in learning from a different group, you are welcome.

If you have questions about the program of events, please contact by email at Pat Bone or by phone (785) 296-2303.
