2020 National Head Start Conference & Expo

Head Start’s Largest Annual Gathering

Head Start’s can’t-miss experience of the year is the largest national conference devoted to all things Head Start, the 47th annual National Head Start Conference will bring everyone together for a week of sharing knowledge, networking with peers, and celebrating achievements.

What makes the National Head Start Conference the leader in early childhood professional development?

The Head Start community is driven like none other to provide opportunities for success in the lives of our nation’s most vulnerable children and families. It’s imperative that our community gathers together every year to celebrate Head Start’s vital mission, and discuss the latest developments, innovations, and obstacles in early childhood. Only by stepping away from our day-to-day work can we look at the big picture and help propel Head Start to even greater heights.
