Why a pre-conference and a conference instead of a 2 day conference?
The MittenCi team works hard to give you a high quality training opportunity at a low price. Friday, April 19th will be a smaller event with longer sessions. This will allow teachers that attend Friday to take advantage of different sessions on Saturday. The Friday pre-conference is covered in the cost of registration. There is no Saturday only price available.
