Summary
After five years of connecting virtually, we’re thrilled to be back in person!
Join us for a full day where real conversations, powerful connections and shared ideas will drive meaningful change for the early years sector.
Together, we’ll tackle some big questions:
- How do we build a compelling case for investment in the early years that resonates with policymakers and the public?
- Can place-based approaches deliver better outcomes at scale – or are they always bespoke
- How can we better measure long-term outcomes for children and families, beyond school readiness?
- What does true systems change look like in the early years – and how do we know when we’re achieving it?
