Welcome to ISSA Conference 2026!

We are excited to have you join us at this landmark gathering for the early childhood field as we unite this year around a shared and urgent focus: advancing integrated early childhood systems that place every child’s wellbeing at the centre by strengthening coordinated action across sectors, disciplines, and services.

ISSA Conference 2026 is co-hosted by ISSA and the Learning for Well-Being Institute, in partnership with the Aga Khan Foundation, APEI, the OECD WISE Centre, and Act for Early Years. The conference will take place in Lisbon on October 22–23, with pre-conference events on October 21.

Below you will find the registration categories, fees, and deadlines for participation in the conference. We encourage participants to take advantage of the Early Bird rates available until 31 July 2026.

Please note that the Conference Dinner on October 22 is an optional social event and requires a separate registration.
