3 Places You Want to Check Out at NYWC

As we get started with the activities and fun of the national Youth Workers Convention (NYWC), i want to make sure you know about some great place to visit! From answers to your questions to connecting with youth workers in your home area to collecting some great ideas, here are 3 places you will want to make sure you check out while you're here this weekend!

Visit The Hub

You have questions, they have answers! Whether this is your first NYWC or your 21st, The Hub is where you will find the information you need. The Hub can help you with all your Convention questions and suggest some great places to eat.

Located just outside the YS Book Store, The Hub is staffed with smiling faces daily from the start of the morning to late in the evening.

Find a Network Near You

Networks. Are you in one? If not, you need to be. YS wants to help you connect with other youth workers in your area. Stop by the networking area and discover how you can connect with youth ministry networks that are close to you. YS and the National Network of Youth Ministries are teaming up to help you connect and grow.

You can find the networking area as you come off the escalators on the second floor. 

The Idea Lab

Fun, creative, spontaneous, and totally live; you never know what might happen at the Idea Lab. Be sure to stop by the Idea Lap as some of the Big Room and Seminar speakers stop by to share some practical ideas and resources that you can take home and use right away. Don't miss the fun at the Idea Lab!

You will find the Idea Lab in the Exhibit Hall next to the YS Events Booth! Oh, and be sure to say hi to Jacob!

So there you are, 3 places you will want to make sure you visit while you're here this week at NYWC! Be sure to check back right here as I share a few more places you won't want to miss.
