2024 MPPI ADVOCACY CONFERENCE

Uniting Voices and Igniting Change for Montessori Education

September 28-29, 2024

This year we’re headed to the National Conference Center (NCC), a fantastic venue just outside DC in Leesburg, VA! It’s the perfect setting for us to gather and work on important advocacy issues.

REGISTRATION

Early bird registration is $350 through September 10th. After that, registration is $425.

The full conference runs from Saturday morning through Sunday lunch.

This year we are again offering our Advocacy 101 workshop virtually. This two-part workshop will take place on Tuesday, September 17 and Thursday, September 19, from 7-8 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 application. BIPOC and LGBTQ+ Montessori educators are especially encouraged to apply.
