In this video, I’m sharing everything I learned from attending the Florida Parent Educators Association (FPEA) Homeschool Convention — one of the largest homeschool conventions in the world! Whether you are a brand-new homeschool parent or a veteran homeschooler, this convention can feel both exciting and overwhelming.
I walk you through what the FPEA convention is really like, including what to expect from the expo hall, the speakers, curriculum shopping, and workshops. I also share practical tips on where to stay, food options, how I bring my family along, and ways to prepare before you even arrive.
Most importantly, I talk about why it helps to have a clear goal before attending the convention so you can avoid burnout, overwhelm, and impulse purchases while still making the most of the experience.
If you’ve ever wondered whether homeschool conventions are worth attending, or how to survive a large convention with your family, this video is for you!
