Upcoming Conferences

The multidisciplinary conferences attended by Head Start Knowledge and Information Management Services (HSKIMS) are gatherings of Head Start and Early Childhood experts. The conferences are an excellent means of sharing information, as well as keeping abreast of new developments in Head Start and Early Childhood, and thus gather ideas related to the Head Start community. HSKIMS exhibits under contract to the Office of Head Start and provides displays for the Administration for Children and Families as well.
