The GCCA Child Care Innovation Expo is a new kind of statewide child care event designed to get people out of traditional all-day training rooms and into interactive spaces where learning, connection, innovation, and community happen together.

Hosted at Chattahoochee Technical College in North Metro Atlanta, this full-day experience will center around a large Innovation Expo Hall featuring exhibitors, demonstrations, community resources, business partners, and organizations from across Georgia and the country that support the early learning industry.

Instead of spending the entire day sitting in sessions, attendees will have time to explore, engage, network, ask questions, discover new tools and services, and build real connections throughout the Expo experience.

The event will include:

  • A large interactive Innovation Expo Hall
  • Vendors, exhibitors, and live demonstrations
  • Community and industry resource partners
  • Two featured learning sessions
  • Networking and collaboration opportunities
  • Music, food trucks, giveaways, prizes, and activities throughout the day
  • Silent auction and engagement experiences supporting GCCA’s mission

Whether you are a child care owner, director, teacher, advocate, policymaker, student, business leader, or supporter of early learning, this event is designed to bring people together in a more engaging and connected way.

This is not a traditional conference.

It is a statewide experience built around innovation, interaction, partnerships, and the future of child care in Georgia.
