The 2010 Buddy Walk Conference will build on the success of the 2009 Conference and will include:

A welcome reception sponsored by the Down Syndrome Association of Jacksonville on Friday, April 30th from 5:30 - 7:30 p.m.
An awards presentation at the opening plenary honoring exemplary groups and organizers, sponsored by Okobos
Extended sessions to allow for more questions and answers
Increased opportunities to learn from veterans of the Buddy Walk program
An expanded ‘Idea Exchange’ and Exhibitor Marketplace
An additional networking opportunity on Saturday night (at your expense)

Here is what organizer's had to say about the 2009 Buddy Walk® Conference:

"The excitement across the country was encouraging. I love that so many of us are using our creativity in many ways for the same cause."

"Having representatives from different groups present their success stories is a crucial part of the sessions. It gives others a chance to see what works, what doesn't work and how other groups achieve success."

"What a great meeting of the minds!!! Thank you so much for your continuous support at the NDSS office!"
