Presenter Resources

Presenting at the Early Childhood Education Summit

Why Present at the Summit?

Each year, the ECE Summit provides attendees with a unique, cross systems professional development opportunity. The Summit bridges the gap between Pennsylvania‘s early learning programs by bringing together presenters and staff from Child Care, Head Start/Early Head Start, Pre-K, Home Visitation and Early Intervention. Past presenters have frequently commented on the richness that this diversity brings to the conversations that take place in their workshops.

PRESENTER REGISTRATION

To help us ensure that we are prepared for everyone, ALL presenters are required to register for the Summit and let us know when you will be on-site, even if you only plan on being present for your own presentation. Lead Presenters and 1st Co-Presenters, please click on the button below to register for Summit.

The registration fee is waived for the LEAD presenter on the day of their workshop presentation, and a reduced, single day presenter registration fee is charged for any day that a lead presenter attends the Summit but is not presenting. This gives you the ability to attend workshops and earn professional development credits yourself. Up to one co-presenter per session is eligible for a reduced co-presenter rate for any day that they are co-presenting in a workshop. This co-presenter is also eligible for a reduced single day registration fee for any day that he/she attends but is not presenting.
