Challenge & Change Conference

2020 Conference

Our 33rd annual conference is now history, and 488 of you enjoyed the great lineup of sessions Karen Gadowsky put together once more, starting with Ivan Coyote as Keynote, and nearly three dozen other sessions covering a wide variety of topics.

Thanks to all of you who downloaded the conference app and allowed us to get the bulk of our sessions evaluated electronically, instead of by paper. It not only saves a tree or two, but also saves an immense amount of work totalling up things by hand. Watch for more app improvements next year.

We look forward to seeing you in February, 2021.

2020 Conference Highlights

Have a look at a few of the photos from the conference. Once again Chef Lori Pilling and the incredible kids from the Delta Secondary Cafeteria Program did an amazing job catering the Schmooze! Thanks also to Namoorsh Ready and the student bartenders from The Gathering Place. You did a fabulous job for us once more. And finally, thanks to the 99.999% of you who graciously signed our newly required alcohol waiver. And to that one crabby guy who didn’t want to do it, thanks for venting and finally capitulating!
