2023 MPPI ADVOCACY CONFERENCE

This year we’re headed to The Bolger Center, a fantastic new venue just outside DC in Potomac, MD! It’s situated on 40 acres where you can enjoy the beauty of early fall.

Check out our detailed conference schedule HERE

REGISTRATION

Early bird registration is $350 through August 15^th. After that registration is $425.

The full conference runs from Saturday morning through Sunday lunch

This year we are offering our Advocacy 101 workshop virtually on Thursday, September 21, 2023, from 7-9 pm ET. If you haven't attended one of the MPPI Conferences in the past, we recommend attending this informative session so you will be prepared for the more advanced content during the conference sessions Saturday and Sunday. You can register for both Advocacy 101 and the conference in one bundle if desired.

If you need financial support to make attendance at this event possible, please complete this form. BIPOC and LGBTQ+ Montessori educators are especially encouraged to apply.

FOOD

Meals are served buffet style. All meals will have a variety of options including salad bar, grill, and a delicious variety of entrees and sides. There will always be vegetarian options.

In addition, attendees will have all day access to a snack room that has fruit, pastries, grab and go snacks like granola bars, nuts, and chocolate coated things, soda, coffee, tea etc. It’s plentiful and amazing!
