The Sector launches 2027 event schedule - Four Forums confirmed for next year 

The Sector, Australia’s largest online early childhood education and care news platform, has launched its 2027 event schedule with four events planned across four cities evenly spaced across the year. 

“It is with great pleasure that we launch our expanded events schedule for next year,” Jason Roberts, Founder and CEO of The Sector said. 

“We have spent the last two years perfecting our boutique, non corporate, experience led event format across three core themes and have been truly humbled by the reception at each and every one.”

“At a time of real challenge across our sector there is no substitute for authentic and relevant connections with like minded professionals and as an organisation we are super excited about offering just that to our delegates once again next year.”

Gold Coast added to city roster as four events scheduled across year

2027 will see the return of the Owners and Operators Forum in Brisbane, Workforce and Wellbeing Forum in Melbourne and the Compliance and Risk Forum in Sydney all of which have proven very successful and cemented their positions and must attend events in the early learning calendar. 

In addition, 2027 will see the launch of the inaugural ECEC Leadership Forum which will consolidate the many threads from the platform's other events as well as include very specific inspirational and practical themes on top. 

"With our events stream now in its third year it was always our intention to launch a leadership forum that speaks directly to those aspirational, and practicing ECEC professionals, looking to build on their current experience in this crucial area,” Mr Roberts said. 

“The boutique nature of the Connect+ events stream really lends itself to creating an atmosphere of intimacy and connection that is a prerequisite for leadership-type events and with the substantial reach of The Sector brand we are confident of securing participants that really truly are able to communicate and inspire.”
