PITTSBURGH, PA, UNITED STATES, March 6, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — For more than 25 years, Cribs for Kids has worked alongside hospitals, health departments, community organizations, and national partners to reduce sleep-related infant deaths through education, collaboration, and practical solutions. The biennial National Cribs for Kids Conference is a cornerstone of that work, creating space for professionals to share what is working, explore emerging research, and strengthen strategies that protect babies and support families.
The upcoming 9th National Cribs for Kids Conference, Safe Sleep: Rooted in Evidence, Branching into Action, taking place September 29 through October 2, 2026, continues this mission and serves as a national convening space for healthcare providers, public health professionals, researchers, child welfare leaders, first responders, home visitors, educators, and community advocates committed to advancing infant safe sleep.
Returning as a fully in-person event, the 2026 conference will include networking opportunities and engaging educational sessions designed to foster connection, learning, and action. Attendees will participate in meaningful discussions, discover innovative programs, and examine how evidence-based recommendations can be translated into sustainable community impact.
Cribs for Kids is currently accepting abstract submissions from professionals and community leaders who are helping move safe sleep from research into action. The organization welcomes presentations highlighting advocacy and policy efforts, behavior change strategies, effective educational messaging, product safety initiatives, and collaborative community outreach models that are making a measurable difference.
The Call for Abstracts is open through May 1, 2026, at 11:59 PM ET. Registration for the conference is also open. Sponsorship and exhibitor opportunities are available.
Infant safe sleep is strengthened when professionals come together to learn from one another and align their efforts. The 9th National Cribs for Kids Conference is an opportunity to do just that.
