The Governor's Office for Children & Families Educators' Conference 

November 30 - December 2                 Atlanta Marriott Century Center

Motivate, Innovate, Integrate: The Governor's Office for Children & Families Educators' Conference will bring together some of the best known speakers, trainers and educators in youth development, abstinence education, prevention and more to provide participants with a high quality, interactive and engaging conference experience that allows them to take back achievable practices that will foster positive outcomes in the children and youth served.

The Educators’ Conference will serve approximately 200 adults who work with youth through abstinence education, prevention programs, afterschool programs and with other youth-serving agencies and organizations and has the potential to significantly boost your organization’s marketing exposure while raising awareness of your resources and services for youth and youth-serving adults and communities. We highly encourage your organization to take advantage of a one-of-a-kind opportunity to promote itself, increase brand awareness, and distribute information to a unique segment—literally hundreds of adults from across the state who are committed to improving their communities across the state of Georgia.

This conference will feature nationally and locally recognized speakers, opportunities for team building, engaging workshops and a dynamite closing session to send our participants off  with the tools and motivation to take action. The conference theme, Motivate, Innovate, Integrate, highlights key actions programs and individuals should be taking to improve their programs. We expect to motivate our attendees to use innovative activities and resources to integrate hands on practice, theory and best practices to push their organizations to the next level.
