By registering, presenters confirm that they have read the Presenter Agreement and agree to its terms and conditions.
What does my registration include?

- Welcome Reception – Wednesday evening, June 24

Do presenters have to register for the conference?
Yes, all presenters are required to register for the conference. One presenter per session is granted a discount registration. A special code was sent to the primary presenter via email.
Where do I submit presenter photos and biography information?
Instructions on how to submit presenter photos and bios will be sent to the primary presenter of each session via email by late-March.
Can I submit additional session resources, such as handouts or links?
In person presenters will not be able to submit additional session resources such as handouts and or links anywhere online or on the conference app. Instead, presenters should plan to share these resources during their in person session.
What platform is Natural Start using for the Nature-Based Early Learning Conference?
Natural Start is using Swapcard Event Platform for the in person 2026 Nature-Based Early Learning Conference. This platform will house the in-person conference program, schedule, and presenter information.
How do I make sure my slides are accessible?
This is a good resource for understanding how to check slides for accessibility features.
How much time do I have to present?
In person sessions should be between 50-60 minutes, and not exceed 60 minutes.
When will I find out the date and time of my live session?
All in person sessions will take place Thursday-Friday, June 25–26, between the hours of 9 AM-5 PM Central Time. Presenters will receive an email with a specific date and time by early-May.
Will Natural Start provide in-room support during sessions?
Yes, when possible, in-person sessions will have in-room support from a trained volunteer. Volunteer room monitors will help make sure that the room is properly set up for your session.
Will we know how many attendees will be in our session in advance?
Attendees do not sign up for sessions in advance, which means that you won’t know how many participants to expect in your session, so prepare to be flexible!
Can we put a limit on the number of attendees in our session?
No—each session is open to all conference attendees on a first come, first serve basis. In our experience, between 20-50 attendees in each session is typical.
