We will also be holding a “gathering” on Friday night. We haven’t firmed up what that will be, but it will be a time to get together with others who arrived early or live in the area and want to meet.
Financial assistance to attend NF Midwest’s Symposium is available. Please email . Include a description of your financial need and how you hope to benefit from attending.
Topics are NOT IN ORDER of the actual schedule and may be subject to change. There will also be opportunities that aren’t listed here for meeting and talking with others.
(We are still working tables, but look for there to be a lot of information. We will have a table time where all speakers will be available for more discussion)
During a special “table time” and other breaks you will be able to visit the areas that interest you and talk to an expert or advocate. The following are the tables we hope to have available. We will be adding more.
