About the Conference
The Region D Conference hosts approximately 300 students and professional

leave attendees with the tools and knowledge to not only succeed, but to excel
in the classroom and in their careers.

We are searching for speakers with a passion for innovation and creativity. We
want to provide the conference attendees with as many opportunities to learn

open to your thoughts on the presentations. Your audience would be both
