Frequently Asked Questions
What is the format of the conference?
The conference is 100% virtual and will be hosted through the Cvent platform.
What is included in the registration fee?
Your registration fee includes access to all 4 days of the conference, networking discussion groups, recordings of presentations (with presenter permission) after the conference, and more.
Will continuing education be provided?
Due to evolving expectations for nursing and social work continuing education, combined with increased administrative and financial barriers, Cribs for Kids is unable to provide continuing education credits for this year’s conference.
At the conclusion of the conference, for those who indicated an interest in earning CEs, Cribs for Kids can suggest other training options specific to infant safe sleep education that provide credit. Alternatively, Cribs for Kids can provide you with an official certificate of attendance and a copy of the final agenda, which you can submit to your licensure to determine if they will grant credit.
To receive the list of safe sleep trainings and/or to receive your official certificate of attendance, please send an email to info@cribsforkids.org after the conclusion of the conference.
Thank you in advance for your understanding.

Following registration, all non-credit card payment methods will automatically receive an invoice via email.
