What is the basis of this conference?
Take a look at the strategy and goals posted at http://www.tutormentorconference.org/strategy.asp
We host information on our web sites that show how other people in Chicago and in different cities are trying to help kids connect with mentors and tutors and how non profits are working with each other and with business and philanthropy to offer high quality tutor/mentor programs in more places.
The conference is an opportunity for some of the people who operate tutor/mentor programs, or who fund them, or who want them in their neighborhoods to connect in face to face networking. This results in idea sharing, relationship building, and more people willing to help each other in the months between each conference.
We had about 100 people at this last conference and more than a few came up to me and told me how much they valued the opportunity to attend.
