The Natural Start Alliance’s annual Nature-Based Early Learning Conference is a national gathering that brings together hundreds of new and seasoned nature-based early childhood education professionals from the U.S. and abroad.
The 2026 conference theme is Imagine If. The act of imagining encourages us to look forward, be creative, and remain open to what’s possible. We invite proposals that explore innovation and collaboration in the continuous pursuit of high-quality and equitable nature-based early learning for all children. The deadline to submit is December 12.
