Thank you for your interest in presenting at a Michigan AEYC conference. We value engaging, practical, and meaningful professional learning experiences that support the early childhood workforce across Michigan.

As you prepare your proposal, we encourage you to focus on your strengths, experiences, passions, and areas of expertise rather than trying to build a session solely around a conference theme. While conference themes may help guide the overall tone of an event, Michigan AEYC strives to offer a well-rounded conference experience that reflects the many roles, settings, and interests within the early childhood workforce.

Often, the strongest and most impactful sessions come from presenters sharing authentic knowledge, practical strategies, and meaningful experiences connected to the work they know best. We encourage you to consider the audience attending each conference and how your session may best support their needs and professional growth. For example, the Infant-Toddler Conference primarily serves professionals working with infants and toddlers, while the Coaching Summit is designed largely for coaches, mentors, and professional learning leaders.

Because we receive a large number of proposals each year, selecting sessions involves balancing many topic areas, audience needs, and perspectives. We encourage presenters to submit proposals that reflect their unique voice, expertise, and strengths within the field.

Please complete the following proposal form in its entirety. Session proposals will be reviewed based on relevance, clarity, participant engagement, practical application, and alignment with conference goals and audience needs.
