Tips on Choosing a Homeschool Convention

Some questions to consider include:

• Are there any speakers that you really want to see?  (Research some of the ones you don’t know and you might locate a gem.)
• Is there child care or an activity available?  If not, are children allowed in the presentations?
• Will there be a vendor hall or used curriculum sale?  (You can usually get great deals here!)
• Does the total price (tickets, transportation, and hotel) fit in your budget?
• Is it religious or secular?  Does that fit with your beliefs?
