We have intentionally built in multiple opportunities for girls’ school educators, advocates, and allies in attendance at the 2024 ICGS Conference to spend time in community with one another to grow your personal and professional networks. In addition to the Conference Mobile App, which will allow delegates to share contact information and be in conversation, we have made available optional activities that will take place during the three days that we will be gathered in Baltimore. Some of those opportunities are listed below. Check this page often, as it is continuously being updated. Have an idea to share? Contact Jean Baker, ICGS Director of Membership & Outreach. 

• Before the Conference begins, meet up with fellow delegates at registration and share lunch together in the Inner Harbor entertainment district
• Connect with members of your ICGS Headways™ cohort at the Opening Reception
• Tour the National Aquarium and enjoy desserts with fellow Conference delegates
  • Are you considering ICGS membership? While enjoying dessert at the National Aquarium, take a “Membership Walk and Talk” at 7 p.m. to hear how ICGS supports member schools. RSVP to Jean Baker, ICGS Director of Membership & Outreach, at jbaker@girlsschools.org by May 31.
