About this Event
Throughout the day, there will be ample opportunity to make valuable connections and learn from fellow Chicago early childhood researchers, policymakers, practitioners, and passionate community members.
We are thrilled to announce that Paul Tough, Author and Journalist, will deliver a keynote address on "How Early Care and Education Helps Children Succeed".
Call for poster submissions: We want to feature your work at the conference! We are seeking submissions to participate in an afternoon poster reception that will highlight all kinds of early childhood research in Chicago. We encourage you to submit a short proposal no later than April 24, 2026. Please see our poster call and submission form for details.
Note: We are happy to welcome poster submissions that have been shared at previous conferences.
We canβt wait to see you there! If you have any questions, please reach out to Jordan Herron ([email protected]).
