Annual Training Conference & Expo

Each year, hundreds of Head Start professionals, parents, and community partners convene at our annual training conference, the premier professional development event for the regional Head Start community. These participants seek to expand their networks, knowledge, and leadership capacity. The conference provides opportunities for participants to connect with colleagues, gain insight from noted keynote and plenary speakers, and attend educational sessions addressing key issues, quality initiatives, and best practices. This training experience attracts executive and mid-level management, members of governing bodies, direct service staff, as well as parents and community partners. The conference features more than 60 educational sessions and a lively exhibit marketplace showcasing resources and products by some of the leading companies in their industry.
