Agenda at a Glance

The Splash Pre-Conference and Main Conference are both essential experiences—each offering powerful, distinct opportunities to grow, connect, and be inspired.

The Pre-Conference is designed for those seeking deeper, hands-on learning in an intimate setting. Choose from expert-led sessions such as Curriculum Training + Make & Take or the Leadership Workshop—both offering practical tools and strategies you can immediately apply in your classroom or program.

The Splash Conference builds on that foundation with high-energy keynotes, engaging breakout sessions, vibrant exhibits, and unforgettable moments of connection—from networking opportunities to our Celebration Dinner and dancing. It’s a dynamic, large-scale experience designed to spark ideas, energize your practice, and celebrate the field of early childhood education.

For the ultimate professional development experience, we recommend attending both. The combination of focused Pre-Conference training and the full Splash event delivers the perfect balance of deep learning and community celebration.

Don’t miss your chance to experience it all!
