Meet the speakers
Researchers, clinicians and advocates from across the globe
The ECI Conference 2027 brings together an exceptional group of international voices in Early Childhood Intervention. Our keynote speakers and workshop facilitators represent leading research centres, clinical practice and advocacy movements across Brazil, Canada, the United States, Australia and Europe.
Over three days — from the pre-conference workshops on 31 March through the closing session on 2 April — they will explore the themes at the heart of this edition: family engagement and co-production, inclusive systems, evidence-based practice, professional wellbeing, and the use of innovation and technology in ECI.
Whether you are a researcher, practitioner, policy-maker or family advocate, you will find voices here that speak to your work — and challenge it.
