Most conferences about giftedness focus primarily on educational issues. While they may include a few presentations about the social and emotional development and needs of gifted people and the challenges facing the gifted population, these presentations play a minor role. SENG conferences reverse the priorities. They believe that recognizing, understanding, and accepting the social and emotional needs of this population are the first priorities for teachers, parents, and counselors. The conference is in 2014 July 18-20, San José, CAlifornia.
The World Council for Gifted and Talented Children (WCGTC) is very pleased to invite you to participate in its 20th Biennial World Conference, the official international event of the WCGTC. 2013 is the International Year of Giftedness and Creativity (IYGC). This conference is designed to increase public awareness, increase the investment in gifted and creative students and generate enthusiasm for the future of this field of knowledge.
