Last Conference

Thank you to all who attended the September 2009 conference in Chicago, Illinois! We hosted 119 participants, speakers, and volunteers at the Holiday Inn Chicago Mart Plaza, from as far apart as American Samoa and St. Louis, Japan and Texas, New York, Georgia, and Illinois -- to name a few. Your participation, engagement and passion during the entire two days was inspiring. Thank you to our Soul Care providers, our presenters, our volunteers, and all of our attendees.
