Discover #Louisvillelove This November
We’re just six short months away from the kickoff of the 2024 Families Learning Conference, happening November 18-20 in Louisville, Kentucky. NCFL’s annual convening promises cutting-edge research in family learning, networking opportunities with your peers from across the country, and innovative strategies and resources that you can use immediately in your work.
But when you’re not busy choosing from 70+ breakout sessions with the country’s leading family learning experts, why not explore what Louisville has to offer?
Named one of the 50 best places to travel in 2024 by Travel + Leisure, Louisville is known for its vibrant culture, historic charm, and Southern hospitality. Whether you’re a history buff, a foodie, or an outdoor enthusiast, there’s something for everyone in Derby City.
Arrive a day early and explore one of the many museums along West Main Street. Called “Museum Row” for a reason, you can discover the Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory, Frazier History Museum, Muhammad Ali Center, Kentucky Science Center, KMAC Contemporary Art Museum, or Roots 101 African American Museum. As you stroll down West Main Street, you’ll see one of the largest collections of cast iron facades in the U.S., rivaled only by the SoHo District in New York City.
Waterfront Park, situated along the Ohio River, is an urban oasis perfect after a full day of learning and sharing. With over 85 acres of open space, playgrounds, gardens, and walking paths, it’s an ideal spot for picnics, riverfront strolls, and meditation.
Did you know that Louisville was ranked #15 on a list of the top destinations for foodies by US News and World Report? 2024 Families Learning Conference attendees will love the event’s central downtown location that makes it easy to enjoy Louisville’s celebrated restaurant scene. You’ll be just steps away from NuLu (East Market District), a trendy neighborhood known for its vibrant arts scene, eclectic boutiques, and farm-to-table restaurants.
Louisville, Kentucky, is a city that beautifully blends a small town feel with metropolitan amenities. Register now to be part of the premier conference for family learning and you’ll have the chance to discover the #LouisvilleLove while you’re here!
