Book Signings

Each year, we work with some of our most popular conference speakers to create opportunities for you to meet them and find their other works. These author-speakers will have times for you to find their books and get them signed. 

Check here to see the signing schedule, what books the authors have to sign, information about their books and a guide to who each book is written to help.

YouScience Certifications

Each year, YouScience offers attendees an opportunity to review and earn industry-recognized certificates in all 16 career clusters (and more) for free in their Certification Review Lab.

At the YouScience Certification Lab, you can experience the exam platform, get a feel for the student experience and even earn these certifications for yourself.

Twelve seats are available each hour on a walk-up basis.

Closer to the conference date, you will be able to find the YouScience schedule here and on our conference app.
