Your Community. Your Opportunity. Your Conference. 

The early childhood education community is gathering in Washington D.C.! More than 20,000 early childhood professionals from around the world attend the NAEYC Annual Conference & Expo to discuss the everyday issues of our work with young children and families.

 

Your chance to connect. The NAEYC Annual Conference & Expo is widely recognized as one of the most valuable professional development opportunities for teachers and administrators working in programs for young children and for people who prepare early childhood educators. Participants get wonderful opportunities to connect with fellow educators who share their commitment to young children and quality education. Many say that the opportunity to meet others going through similar experiences is the top reason to attend NAEYC’s Conference!

Your opportunity to learn. The Conference is filled with sessions designed to provide practical information to take home and use immediately. You will reflect on new research and its potential to improve teaching, learn about team building and staff retention, and explore new strategies for preparing early childhood professionals.

Your capacity to grow. This is a great opportunity to strengthen your knowledge of the best approaches to high-quality early childhood education. Renowned experts will cover a wide range of issues, including early literacy, social and emotional development, infant care, support for families, and school readiness. Many sessions will explore issues related to the 10 new NAEYC Early Childhood Program Standards-the foundation for the reinvented NAEYC Accreditation system for programs for young children.

So mark your calendar now, and join us in Washington, DC this fall. Conference sessions will be held at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center located at 801 Mount Vernon Pl NW Washington, DC 20001.

After all, it's your community. Your opportunity. Your Conference!
