SHIFT Childcare Leaders Conference

Date: December 7-10, 2025
Venue: The Broadmoor
Location: Colorado Springs, CO

SHIFT has become a must-attend early childhood education conference for early education business owners and operators looking to grow. We limit the attendance to 500 people each year for a more intimate, boutique childcare conference experience. And every guest at SHIFT is treated like a VIP from the moment they arrive — with access to our complimentary welcome reception and cocktail hours, gourmet snacks and meals, and wellness experiences (morning yoga or an afternoon massage, anyone?). But, most importantly, SHIFT delivers actionable content tailored to serve and strengthen the early education industry and attracts a range of early education operatives — from small business owners to industry stakeholders to the nation’s top childcare CEOs.
