2026 NAEYC Annual Conference

NAEYC brings classroom purchasing and early childhood professional learning into the same room. Its audience extends from infant and pre-K teachers to center directors, family child care providers, elementary educators, faculty and researchers. In last year's attendee survey, 69% made or influenced purchasing decisions; program directors, administrators and principals accounted for 24% of participants. That combination gives suppliers access to both the people choosing resources and the educators using them.
