What past participants have said about Edufest...   
"I really appreciate Edufest. The opportunity for new learning, reinforced
learning and opportunities to hear and get to know the speakers. It has provided
a time for networking with others and when combined with the experience of a
week long conference with fun creative educators, it can't be beat. Thanks to
those who worked so hard and volunteered their talents to make this one of the
best conferences that I have attended."
