Sessions
The 2022 HighScope International Conference will be a hybrid event allowing you to choose to attend in person or virtually — making it more accessible than ever before to learn from HighScope’s early childhood experts.
There will be an option to attend in-person at the Detroit Marriott at the Renaissance Center or to attend virtually. Virtual attendees will have access to select live sessions and a library of pre-recorded sessions. Live sessions will provide opportunities for you to interact and engage with content experts and your peers, while the recorded sessions offer flexibility for those with busy schedules.
