Wisconsin Early Childhood Association’s Annual Conference is a key training and professional development opportunity for early childhood educators through informative and engaging keynotes, breakouts, and interactive sessions. To support the geographic and professional development needs of early childhood professionals, several live and recorded sessions will be available online through the WHOVA conference platform. 

WECA anticipates more than 800 attendees from Wisconsin and its neighboring states (including approximately 350 in-person attendees each day and hundreds of additional virtual attendees). The conference draws early childhood teachers, assistant teachers, directors, and family child care owners/providers in addition to representatives from state agencies, higher education institutions, and Child Care Resource and Referral (CCR&R) agencies.
