If you are new to home schooling, or you have never attended a home school convention, I encourage you to give it a try. They are loaded with great speakers, and the exhibit halls are loaded with hands-on chances to evaluate curriculum! There are a few conventions coming up in our area:
Indiana State Home School Convention
Indiana's convention has shrunk through the years. I am not sure why. So far, the list of speakers this year is short, but if you are looking for an unintimidating experience you might opt for this.
Cincinnati Home School Convention
Here is a bigger convention with over 300 exhibitors! The list of speakers is impressive too, including Mike Huckabee, Chuck Colson, Jay Wile, and more.
Illinois Home School Convention
I understand that this is a pretty good one too.
