What are people saying about the conference?

“Hello Dads,

Saturday was the 9^th Annual Midwest Fathers Conference. While I was there it was suggested that I send out a quick summary of my impressions of the event.  So here they are.

The event was terrific.  Not only did I learn important and useful information, but I had a great time as well. Although my decision to attend was last minute, I’m not sure that there was much else I could have done Saturday that would have been a better use of my (personal) time. The $20 cost covered breakfast, lunch, the conference, Gucci coffee, parting gifts, and a $22 book.

The Keynote by Jeff Zaslow (The Last Lecture) was very entertaining and impressive.  Three Breakout Sessions followed that for my money, delivered on their billing.  The last session of the day brought all 300ish dads back together to hear each speaker summarize the most important points of their session.  This allowed us to get the gist of the sessions that we could not attend.

I would highly recommend this event and am including a link so that you can check it out further if you desire and perhaps place it on your calendar for next year.

My thanks to Ralph Picano for nudging me to attend.”
