New This Year!--Admission to the resource and exhibit fair is free. You need not register for the conference to visit the resource tables in the exhibit hall. We’re pleased to have The Gardener Homeschool Group joining us in presenting this year’s resource and exhibit fair, instead of hosting its annual resource night.

This year’s resource and exhibit fair will once again feature representatives and resources from community groups, homeschool clubs, sports teams, and organizations, as well as businesses, and colleges, all of whom have a special appeal to those who are choosing the home education option.

Thinking about homeschooling? Plan to attend the “New Homeschooler Orientation Meeting” at the conference.

Needing a little encouragement? Sit in on panel discussions by homeschool graduates and veteran homeschooling moms and other targeted workshops designed to encourage all who are choosing the home education path.

An extensive list of exhibitors and resources, as well as a complete topical schedule for the conference will be available on the HEN website during the last week of July at www.OmahaHEN.org.


Conference Admission-- (speakers/workshops):

*Pre-registration (by July 31st): $10 for HEN Members, $15 for non-members

(Those joining HEN when pre-registering pay the member pre-registration price for the conference. To join HEN, add an additional $25 to your pre-registration check.)

**At the door: $15 for HEN Members, $20 for non-members. Those joining HEN at the door may enjoy the conference at the member price.

There is no additional charge for spouses and students aged 12 and older attending the conference with a paying participant. There will be no childcare provided, so we ask that attendees make other childcare arrangements for children under the age of 12. Nursing babies are welcome.
