For more than 22 years, the UNC Frank Porter Graham Child Development Institute's International Early Childhood Inclusion Institute has drawn people from across the nation and around the world to Chapel Hill to:

• learn about the latest research findings, models, and resources to guide inclusive policy, professional development and practice;
• develop collaborative relationships and cross-agency systems to support early childhood inclusion;
• have the opportunity to meet, learn from, and problem solve with peers.

This year, we are looking forward to our second hybrid International Early Childhood Inclusion Institute, and we are thrilled to be welcoming participants virtually and in-person. We are working hard to plan an event that shines a light on topics that matter the most to you in serving children with disabilities in our world right now. We hope that the Inclusion Institute will leave you feeling informed, energized, and supported.

We have two options for attending the Inclusion Institute this year:

     1. Inclusion Institute in-person attendee: Attending live sessions in-person in Chapel Hill, North Carolina at the Friday Center (beginning on May 16 at 1 p.m. Eastern Standard Time
