Holding the Past, Creating the Future
The 2026 conference theme, ‘Holding the Past, Creating the Future‘ invites us to reflect on our policy and practice memory—what we have carried forward, where these ideas and approaches come from, and what may have been left out or lost within the dominant narratives of early childhood education and care. This theme encourages us to consider the cultural and historical legacies that shape our practices—what we choose to pass on—and the stories our sector will tell about this moment in time, as we continue shaping the future.
Often described as the leading conference in the education and care sector in Australia, the ECA National Conference will open you up to new skills and possibilities and help you keep pace with the latest research and developments in the sector.
