5 answeredWisconsin Early Childhood Association Conference 2026 took place October 2–3, 2026.
It was held at Madison Marriott West, 1313 John Q Hammons Dr, Middleton, WI 53562.
The stated audience is early childhood educators.
It is most useful for early childhood educators and center staff in Wisconsin looking for affordable professional development, since the two-day program offered keynotes, breakout groups and interactive workshops, with attendees drawn from across the state. Administrators wanting policy-level or national networking will get less from it, as the speakers were a bestselling author and educators from Ebenezer Child Care Center rather than a broad roster of sector executives.
Early childhood educators at training conferences usually wear comfortable casual clothes, such as jeans or slacks, sweaters and sneakers, as sessions are interactive. Layers suit early October in Middleton, where mornings can be cool.
