Thank you to the more than 1,800 Early Childhood Professionals who joined us for the 53rd Conference on the Young Years (CYY)! With over 120 breakout sessions, 52 exhibitor booths, and an inspiring lineup of keynote speakers, this year’s conference continued its tradition of supporting those who work with children from birth through third grade.

Mark your calendars for the 2027 Conference on the Young Years, tentatively scheduled for March 4–6, 2027.
 

Presentation proposal submissions will open in May 2026—watch the CYY webpage for updates.
