The Washington Homeschool Convention is the largest of its kind on the West Coast, with nearly 4,000 attendees. Throughout the years, well known speakers such as Susan Wise Bauer, John Taylor Gatto, Dr. Raymond Moore, Stephan Guffanti, Tom Hoyle and Jim Weiss have drawn hundreds to our workshops. We also offer seminars on the how-to's of homeschooling, fun family activities for all ages, and unique opportunities for homeschool families to connect.

Read what some of our 2008 exhibitors have to say:

"Northwest Treasures has looked forward to the WHO convention every year.  It is our best convention and is well organized with plenty of help and other conveniences.  I would give this convention an A+ compared to many conventions I have been involved in.  There is much business that comes to me after the convention as well, such as field trips and repeat sales.  If I could only attend one convention per year, WHO would be it."
Patrick Nurre, owner, Northwest Treasures

"We had a wonderful time at the WHO Convention - there was so much to see and learn about in the different booths, it was hard to stay at our Chess4Life booth. I was homeschooled myself from K-12 and 3 semesters of college - and really appreciate the opportunities that are available for the 'modern' homeschoolers!"

The Washington Homeschool Convention is one of the most affordable conventions in the Northwest. Many conferences charge attendees over $50 per day; some conferences are hundreds of dollars just to attend. We offer ample free parking for exhibitors & attendees, our exhibit hall provides 10x10 booths for our exhibitors, compared to many that are limited to 8x8, at an affordable price, and our early bird registration offers even better value to our exhibitors. We have special non profit rates for qualifying groups and several tables for smaller businesses. It has been a priority of the Washington Homeschool Organization (WHO) to make this convention affordable for both exhibitor and attendee.
