2026 ECERJ Conference

B’Simcha: Do It With Joy

Sponsorship Opportunities

We invite you to Philadelphia, PA, from January 21–24, 2026, to immerse yourself in B’Simcha: Do It With Joy – Nurturing Passion and Purpose in Jewish Early Childhood Education, the annual ECE-RJ Conference.

The ECE-RJ annual conference brings together Jewish early childhood educators who lead early childhood centers across the US who work within congregational settings.

This year we are offering organizations two different ways to connect with conference attendees:

As a Sponsor

As a sponsor, you will be able to engage meaningfully with conference participants, have a preferred spot in our Marketplace, and select a level of support that meets your organization’s goals. To thank you for sustaining our work, we will share your brand and showcase your organization to our audience of more than 4,000 subscribers to our monthly newsletters and 1,500 members in the ECE-RJ network.

As a Vendor

Vendor Level I, will secure a spot in our marketplace to meet and connect with over 150 conference attendees AND provide a branded swag item in our welcome bags.

Vendor Level II will provide an opportunity to provide a branded swag item in our welcome bags.

Sponsorship Levels are limited, so we encourage you to secure your sponsorship early by filling out this form.  To ensure a smooth experience, we will limit sponsor or vendor opportunities received after November 15, 2025.

If you have any questions, email Rebecca Baizen, Administrative Assistant at [email protected]
