THE CALL FOR 2025 CONFERENCE PRESENTERS IS CLOSED.
The Association for Early Learning Leaders pursues experts in the early care and education community to present sessions from a national perspective to early care and education directors, administrators, and owners at our Annual Conference, How Successful Directors Lead! The Association prides itself on the high level of quality and professionalism that is upheld throughout the conference.
Sessions incorporate the following areas of expertise: leadership, legal, business administration, budgeting, insurance-liability, health & safety, curriculum, assessment, instructional leadership, parent education, and program quality accreditation. In order to lead a quality early learning program, directors are required to have knowledge, skills, and abilities from diverse areas. Nationally known experts from across the country are secured to share a wealth of knowledge and experience with our participants.
The Association for Early Learning Leaders is a professional organization committed to strengthening the skill level of leaders in the field of early care and education. We believe that effective management is the critical link to superior programs.
The Association will accept applications for the 2025 National Conference through September 30, 2024. The requests are thoroughly reviewed, and presenters will be notified of acceptance by November 15, 2024. Presentations are to be 1 hour and 30 minutes in length. CEU applications will be sent to selected presenters by December 1, 2024, and must be completed no later than January 31, 2025.

Presenters will have the option to donate their honorarium to the Presidents’ Legacy Commission to support scholarships, training and development support, and expanded resources to leaders in early care and education through the Association.

PROMOTING PRODUCTS AND SERVICES:
The Association for Early Learning Leaders recognizes that the National Conference is often used as a vehicle for presenters to expand their own markets. The Association encourages the dissemination of knowledge, promoting personal and professional development, and enhancing the quality of early care and education programs. To respectively maintain a balance of dissemination of information and marketing, presenters are encouraged to purchase an exhibit booth in the Exhibit Hall.

Please help us maintain the professional integrity of the conference by abstaining from the appearance of using your session as a marketing venue. Presenters will not be allowed to sell, display, or promote their events, publications, materials, and/or services during their training presentation. You will be permitted to distribute promotional materials to participants at the conclusion of your session, and our conference Ambassadors are happy to facilitate the distribution of your materials.
Failure to abide by presenter guidelines will result in your not being invited to present at future AELL training events.
