Each year, Churchill invites parents, professionals and the community to learn from nationally recognized speakers in the field of learning disabilities, child development and learning. Speakers are the most prominent professionals in the field, and hundreds of participants attend each year.

In past years, such experts as Dr. Mel Levine from Chapel Hill, NC; Rick Lavoie, learning consultant; Dr. Edward Hallowell from Harvard Medical School, and Rob Langston, learning disabled motivational speaker, have shared their insights and methods with students, alumni, parents, educators and St. Louis doctors.
