The Center for Business Champions (CBC) at Childhood Education International is excited to announce the Global Forum on Investing in Early Childhood: Business Support for a Thriving Economy & Social Wellbeing.

This dynamic virtual event will take place on April 8, 2025, and will convene leaders from around the world to explore the economic and social benefits of investing in young children—and the powerful role businesses can play in shaping a thriving future for all.
