Let me set the stage. Imagine a room filled with 159 years of combined knowledge, wisdom, and passion. A room where the brightest minds in Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) are ready to share their insights, experiences, and groundbreaking ideas.

Now, picture yourself in that room.

This isn’t just another conference. This is THE event. The Thriving as Male Educators Inaugural Conference.

We have lined up not one, not two, but SIX of the most respected and innovative experts in the field of ECEC. They’re ready to pour out their knowledge, all in one place, at one time. Each speaker brings something unique to the table—years of experience, trailblazing initiatives, and a relentless drive to push the boundaries of what’s possible in ECEC.

And here’s the kicker: Registration is absolutely FREE.

Sounds too good to be true, right? So, what’s the catch?

?? Drumroll, please...

There isn’t one. This isn’t a marketing gimmick or a sales pitch. This is a selfless effort to promote the incredible value that male educators bring to ECEC. We’re breaking stereotypes, challenging norms, and paving the way for a more inclusive future in early childhood education.

Meet your speakers:
