Dear Early Childhood Educators,

It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to the 46th Annual UW-Whitewater Early Childhood Conference! We are thrilled to announce that our conference for this year will be in-person on April 5-6, 2024.

The theme this year is Building for the Future. Our goal is to provide affordable high-quality professional development sessions and opportunities to gather, network and collaborate with other early childhood educators. Please check out the pricing information on the website and you will find some great early bird prices for the conference! We are also working with the Registry so that we can offer registry credit for sessions. We hope you will join us for the amazing professional development opportunities at this year’s conference.

As you check out the conference website in the upcoming weeks you will notice a remarkable line up of speakers and topics. We will continue to post the line up as it is updated and can’t wait for you to check it out!

That’s just a sneak peak of some of the awesome things happening this year. We hope to offer virtual presentations and access again in the near future. Please check back on this website for updates on our Facebook page UW-Whitewater Early Childhood Conference.

Warm Regards,

Kristen Linzmeier
Conference Coordinator
