As part of the registration process, please note that you will need to agree to NAEYC’s Code of Conduct and Event Safety Policy.

Please remember: The Annual Conference is about children, not for children. For safety reasons, we cannot allow children or strollers in the exhibit hall or in session areas. If you have children accompanying you to Washington, D.C., we ask that you make alternative arrangements for child care. You may visit the NAEYC website for a list of accredited child care centers near the Walter E. Washington Convention Center which might offer drop-in services. We appreciate your understanding as we work hard to keep everyone safe.

Groups of 10 or more will receive $10 off each conference registration fee.

If you are registering a group of 10 or more online, please select Group Registration after logging into your NAEYC account.

If you are paying by credit card, register online to ensure secure transmission of your credit card information.

If you are paying by check, you may register online and select “Check Forthcoming” as your payment option. You may also submit a request for an invoice by sending an email to: [email protected].

If you are submitting a purchase order, please begin your registration online and select “Purchase Order” to indicate that a Purchase Order is forthcoming for your registration. Then, send a copy of the official Purchase Order along with your registration information to: [email protected].
