Exclusive Visibility in the

ECE Mastery App

Engage Directly with Our Community of Early Childhood Education Professionals

As a sponsor of CBG Live 2026, you will receive exclusive visibility in the ECE Mastery app, which is used by early childhood education (ECE) professionals for learning, networking, and growth.

As a Preferred Partner, your brand will be featured prominently.

Offering direct access to a targeted audience of childcare business owners who are actively seeking solutions to grow their businesses. This is a unique opportunity to engage with a highly-focused community, providing ongoing value and support to members who are eager to connect with trusted partners.

Continuous Engagement

Not only will your brand be visible to users in the app, but you’ll also be able to interact with members in real-time, fostering relationships and offering solutions that help them grow their childcare businesses. Your sponsorship doesn’t end after the event—it continues throughout the year with lasting, meaningful engagement within the ECE Mastery app.

The Ninja Hack Opportunity

5-Minute Stage Presentation

At CBG Live 2026, sponsors will have the exclusive opportunity to take the stage for a Ninja Hack—a 5-minute presentation where you’ll share a challenge that early childhood education (ECE) business owners may have faced, and offer a practical solution to overcome that challenge.

This is not a sales pitch. The goal of the Ninja Hack is to provide actionable insights and value to the audience, not to promote your products or services. By presenting a Ninja Hack, you’ll gain valuable exposure, showcase your expertise, and position your brand as a trusted resource to an engaged group of decision-makers in the early education industry.

This opportunity will allow you to help attendees walk away with real, implementable solutions that can have an immediate impact on their businesses.
