ANNOUNCEMENT FROM CRIBS FOR KIDS:
In light of the new variant and our past attendee/partner survey responses, we have decided to transition the conference into a virtual format. We have received feedback regarding travel hesitations, fears of a new variant, and employer travel restrictions continuing at least into mid-2022. Additionally, because our attendees primarily serve families with infants and young children, we feel it is best to have a virtual event to prevent the further spread of the virus and avoid putting families at risk.
Although we will dearly miss being in the same room as all of you, we look forward to presenting the 7th National Conference in this format. We are designing it in a way that will provide you the opportunity to learn and engage with more of the safe sleep community than has been possible with past in-person events.
Many thanks to those of you who participated in our survey, and helped us to facilitate our decision. Stay tuned for information on registering, including early bird pricing, which will launch in January!
