Sponsorship Opportunities

In previous years, AYCE offered traditional " Vendor opportunities " as part of our annual conference. As our organization and mission have continued to grow, we have intentionally expanded that approach to offer " Exhibitor, Sponsorship, and Partnership Opportunities". This change reflects our belief that participating businesses are more than vendors. You are valued partners in supporting the professionals who serve children, youth, and families across Europe. By partnering with AYCE, you not only gain meaningful visibility and connection with professionals across Europe, but also contribute to a larger purpose: investing in the people who educate, mentor, lead, and advocate for children and youth every day. Together, these partnerships help AYCE continue building connection, strengthening community, and expanding opportunities for professional and career growth.

PARTNER WITH AYCE

Support the professionals who serve children and families across Europe Every day, thousands of children in U.S. military communities across Europe are cared for by dedicated early childhood and youth professionals. AYCE invests in these professionals by providing high-quality training, scholarships, leadership development, and networking opportunities—ultimately improving experiences for the children and families they serve. At our 2026 conference, AYCE served more than 350 childcare professionals representing over a dozen U.S. military communities across Europe. Your sponsorship helps AYCE expand these opportunities and strengthen military-connected communities throughout Europe.
