That is a very good question, Stacy. Yes, there are significantly more people who check in from certain countries. In fact, nearly 72% of the people checking in this year so far are from the U.S - over 5250 different (unique) visitors in fact. Part of that is because so many wonderful students are participating actively! Thank you!! Part of it is because the conference is in English. The next highest numbers this year come from Australia, the UK, and Canada - nearly 1000 unique visitors. But even if there is only one visitor from a country like Mongolia (yes, there has been one this year) it is very exciting because that person has had the opportunity to learn some important information about stuttering. There have been people from Israel, France, Nigeria, Albania, Cameroon, India, Croatia, Australia, and other countries who have asked questions. AND there have been some children who have had questions, too. Judy
