Changes to the Family Conferences Schedule

To address this matter, the morning conference times on Tuesday 10/15 from 8:10 - 11AM will stay the same, but the evening event will be on Wednesday 10/16 from 6 - 8PM and on the afternoon conferences will be on 10/17 from 12Noon - 3PM.
We are aware that switching these two meeting times will impact schedules and we are very sorry for the inconvenience.
