Now a Virtual Event! DEC's 37th Annual International Conference on Young Children with Disabilities

Dear DEC members and partners,

The situation surrounding COVID-19 has been fluid and quickly changing, therefore, it is not possible for us to know what restrictions will continue to be in place in September 2021 across our country, programs, and schools. After conversations with members, committees, and the Executive Board about the safety and accessibility for all conference participants, DEC is excited to announce that we will offer the 2021 conference virtually September 20th – 24th, 2021. With the success of our 2020 conference that more than doubled our attendance, we look forward to building on last year's work with an increased focus on diverse voices and topics. Additionally, enhancing live interaction and connections within the sessions, posters, and exhibit hall will bring this year's conference to a new level of virtual experience.

Early Bird registration is open now! Future updates will be posted on decconference.org and shared via email.

We look forward to seeing one another in Chicago in 2022 as we combine the DEC conference with the ISEI conference.
