Today I am joined by Homeschool Solutions Community Manager and fellow convention fan Dawn Garrett to talk all about the homeschool convention. Dawn and I are both long-time attendees of homeschool conventions and are looking forward to meeting many of you there this year.
In this episode Dawn and I dish:
- Why go to a homeschool convention at all.
- Our favorite panel or talk from a convention and how to decide which speakers to see.
- How to avoid “overload” and work the vendor hall like a pro.
- The pros and cons of going with family or friends.
- How to stick to your budget and the one tool you should not forget to take to the convention.
- How going to conventions have helped us in our homeschooling and why we wouldn’t miss going each year.
If you haven’t given a convention a thought this episode might get your inspired to check on out.
