The free conference in Birmingham is open to all Early Years Professionals and anyone interested in finding out more. Keynote speakers will include Minister for Children, Young People and Families Beverley Hughes and clinical psychologist Professor Tanya Byron.
The conference aims to give those who have achieved EYP Status a chance to share their achievements, give advice on best practice and provide feedback to policymakers.
The event is to include seminars, interactive workshops covering a range of early years issues, an online discussion forum, a specialist exhibition for EYPs and an evening reception.
Training providers and other sector professionals will be on hand to provide new candidiates with information about the different pathways to EYPS.
Thom Crabbe, Early Years National Development Manager at the CWDC, said, 'CWDC is delighted and excited to be organising the inaugural Early Years Professionals national event.
'As well as celebrating over 3,000 EYPs, we will be focusing on professional development, early years practice, leadership, the EYP role and many other issues, as well as workshops for those studying for or interested in EYP Status. We will be announcing some high-profile speakers and workshop leaders shortly'.
The event will take place at the International Conference Centre (ICC) in Birmingham on 14 July.
