Easy-to-Read Conference Schedule

It looks like some readers have had difficulty accessing the schedule from the link provided previously. Here is a scaled down version of the breakout sessions so that you can see what classes are being offered in each. Please note that this schedule may be subject to slight change.  Classes in blue text are geared specifically towards birth families. Again, this is only the breakout schedule. Don't forget that each day begins with a keynote address, Friday evening is the awards banquet, and Saturday after the birth parent panel is the raffle and closing.
