Schedule-at-a-Glance
As LAUNCH 2023 is taking shape, we’re so excited to share some of the amazing training, networking, planning, and celebration opportunities we have in store for our Texas PTA family!
To make this year’s conference better than ever, we’ve made a few changes to note:
- In-person BASICS trainings — to help you learn the ins and outs of your role, equip you for the coming school year and ask all the important questions — will be offered on Saturday afternoon
- Awards will be given in separate sessions throughout the conference to celebrate our trailblazers and big-hitters all weekend long
- Our Exhibit Hall will be bigger than ever with dozens of fabulous vendors to help you plan all your fundraising and programming needs for the year
- Texas PTA business will be broken out and conducted in general sessions held each day; the detailed schedule and accompanying information will be made available as we approach the conference dates
