International Infant & Toddler Conference Blog

Welcome to the International Infant & Toddler Conference Blog

What an amazing conference it turned out to be…thanks to all of the presenters, participants and volunteers, it was a resounding SUCCESS with over 500 participants!

We are so excited to be able to bring you an opportunity to continue the networking and dialogue that occurred at the first International Infant & Toddler Conference held in Tulsa in April 2009.

Now that you have had a chance to reflect and/or practice what you learned at the conference, we would like to continue to hear about how you used the information, what worked/didn’t work; or have you changed your day-to-day practices with children and families. So please feel free to use this blog to share your thoughts and comments.

We have also summarized the evaluations you completed at the end of the conference and the overwhelming conclusion was, “please do this conference again”!! And, so we are planning for it in April 2011… mark your calendars!

We would also like to give a final opportunity for you to make suggestions or comments regarding the conference itself. In the near future, we will post on our blog site a link to a short survey for you to complete.

We look forward to hearing from you and hope you find the blog useful…as always, please let us know if you have comments, concerns or suggestions!

Thank you again for helping to make the International Infant Toddler Conference a success!
