We're at that exciting time when vendor registrations are coming in, we're finalizing our online attendee registration details, and the brochure is almost ready to go to the printer.

This year we're looking forward to an great event back home at the University of Saint Thomas, but this time at their brand new Athletic Center, complete with lots of space, great lighting, air conditioning, and cushy, comfortable floors. We're pretty sure you're going to love this beautiful vendor facility!

Also new for 2011 is the chance for you and your teens to take a class from IEW's Andrew Pudewa! This seven-hour class focuses on high school essay skills and offers lots of guidance and practice for taking the writing portion of the ACT/SAT, and writing college application essays. It's a unique opportunity and we're very pleased to offer it, for your convenience, in conjunction with the Conference.

Registration for both our Friday seminars, the High School Essay Intensive, as well as Linda Lopez's High School and Beyond will begin as soon as our other registration materials are available - early in March.
