Creating a personal schedule helps YOU, US, and YOU! Planning your day ahead of time will: 1) Leaves YOU more time for connecting with fellow Montessorians during the conference 2) Allow US to help determine the best room size for each session 3) Because of #2, increase YOUR chances of safely and comfortably attending every session you planned on (without sitting on the floor)!
PLEASE CHECK BACK FOR FINAL TIMES AND ROOM ASSIGNMENTS OF EACH SESSION CLOSER TO THE START OF THE CONFERENCE!
