Save the Date: BUILD27

BUILD27 will expand on the momentum of BUILD25, a meeting that saw over a thousand leaders gather to explore “The Heart of the Matter.” Participants drew inspiration from music and spoken word performances as they built relationships, shared tools, and strengthened the field – and showed the power of coming together, even in times of uncertainty.

As unease persists, BUILD remains committed to holding space for clarity and connection that makes coordinated action possible. At BUILD27, we will provide spaces for learning, collaboration, and renewed energy for the work ahead. We will support early childhood leaders as we continue our efforts to expand access, deepen equity and inclusion, and create intentional feedback loops among system leaders, practitioners, families, and communities. With a focus on peer learning, networking, and fun, BUILD will create a space where systems thinking and innovation are not just discussed but practiced.
