Thank you for your interest in submitting a proposal for the Pennsylvania Early Childhood Education Summit, taking place October 16 - 18, 2023.  

Since 2008, the Pennsylvania Early Childhood Summit has brought together over 1,000 early childhood professionals, parents, and community members from across Pennsylvania to this annual three-day event. 
 
Much of the success and continued interest in the Summit is directly attributable to the educators who step up to present in our break-out sessions. It’s only through your dedication and willingness to share your knowledge that we are able to provide the variety and quality of sessions for which the Summit has come to be known.

Conference Dates and Location
The Early Childhood Education Summit will be held October 16 - 18, 2023; we will once again be using the Zoom conference platform.  The conference website is https://earlychildhoodsummit.org
