Why You Should Be There

 

✔ Build Trust & Visibility: Families want to meet you face-to-face, ask questions, and find long-term partners. Establish trust with attendees who are ready to take action.

✔ Engage Across All Planning Stages: From early childhood (Birth–3) to transition and adulthood (14+), breakout tracks and expo booths give you access to families at all stages of the journey.

✔ Highlight Your Services on Two Platforms: Join our in-person vendor fair on Day 2, and showcase your organization via short spotlight videos or live intros during Day 1’s virtual sessions.
