The 2013 Conference will offer over 200 workshops covering an extensive range of issues and topics in administration and staffing, advocacy and public policy, assessment, child development, curriculum, discipline and guidance, inclusion and special needs, infants and toddlers, literacy, parents and families, and professional development. Staff and administrators in family and group homes, child care centers, preschool, kindergarten and early elementary programs will hear from experts on early education and care, attend workshops and exchange ideas to enhance the quality of their work with children and families.

Attending the general session and workshops provides five hours of training per day. These hours qualify for child care licensing's mandated training hours. The conference also offers full-day Focus Sessions. Focus session participants have the opportunity to become eligible to earn State Board of Education Continuing Education Units (SCECH).

During the conference, MiAEYC will hold its 7th annual Silent Auction. Auction proceeds benefit MiAEYC's Student Leadership Fund. Currently, MiAEYC awards a Student Leadership Award annually to an outstanding student in one of Michigan's accredited 4-year college programs for early childhood education. Last year's auction raised over $7,000. Featured auction items include hotel packages, sporting event tickets, early childhood materials and supplies, and gift certificates.
