26th Annual Infant Toddler Conference

Description

We're back in person on March 4, 2023 at Oakton College in Des Plaines with a few changes to our routines/schedules and a plan B in place to go virtual if needed. We missed seeing you and the members of our community.

To ensure the safety and health of all individuals, we will be offering a choice of one of five tracks for participants. These tracks will take place in 5 main rooms, located along the same hallway. The participants will remain in the same room for the morning, and we will have presenters change with the session times. This will keep groups separate. In the event of a COVID variant occurrence, and in-person learning is not possible, we will offer the conference via Zoom. Masks are optional, we strongly suggest wearing a mask to protect yourself and others. This is subject to change based on Oakton's COVID policy.

Please note, registration will open the week of January 9th, 2023.
