The Homeschool Conference Planner and Workbook is a must-have book if you are attending a homeschool conference, convention, or buying homeschool curriculum. Whether you are attending online or in-person this book will help you to get the most out of the conference and help you save money when buying curriculum. I designed this book years ago when I started going to homeschool conferences, book fairs and used curriculum sales. I needed a place to keep up with my notes from workshops, how much different vendors were charging for their curriculum and so much more. Freinds started using the pages that I had designed and loved them! This is how this book came to be. This year, I decided to do a major update to this book to include lots of tips for attending online conferences. Not to mention making it more printer-friendly and minimalist and adding a calm color scheme.

I really love how this book turned out! It helped me and my friends so much over the years while we were homeschooling. I could refer back to it when shopping and check prices. I could refer back to my notes when I needed to remember something that a speaker said. It helped me focus on why I was attending these workshops and helped me to really focus on our homeschool and the direction that we wanted it to go. My husband would even take the book from me and go to the bookfair to write down prices while I went to workshops. It was great! I hope this book helps you to get not only the most out of homeschool conferences but out of your homeschool experience.
