"The keynote was a great presentation; very engaging and a nice change in topic looking at how we care for ourselves yet I appreciated that it was so different than typical self care talks :)"
"What was most useful and made the biggest impact was the opportunity to attend break out sessions that allowed me to dig deeper into topics that will improve my craft or give me the kick start needed to take the dive into starting something new with my team."
"This was a wonderful presentation and I took so much from it! It was organized well, felt quick (very engaging for being 2.5 hrs!!!) and I took so many things from it that I will use immediately. Wonderful job!"
We extend our sincere appreciation to the sponsors and exhibitors who supported the 2025 MiDEC Conference. Your commitment to early childhood professionals, young children with disabilities, and their families helps strengthen our collective work across Michigan.
Thank you for investing in our community and making this year’s conference possible.
