Looking for the best place to talk shop during the conference? Join your fellow Iowa school leaders for our Signature Barbecue Buffet.

The Menu:
Pulled pork, chicken, savory baked beans, sweet corn, and buttery cornbread—plus a nostalgic Rice Krispie treat to get you through the afternoon sessions.

While this feast is valued at $38, our sponsors have stepped in to bring your cost down to only $25. Don’t miss this chance to step out of the lecture hall and into the conversation. Secure your seat at the table when you register for the conference!
