WHAT IS THE 2023 INJOY VIRTUAL SUMMIT ALL ABOUT?  

Building on the success of our first two InJoy Summits, each with several hundred educators and other health professionals participating, we are excited to continue the tradition in 2023! This year, we will be creating another collaborative event to exchange information and ideas for improving the perinatal education experience for new families, all while enriching the lives of the educators, nurses, and other health professionals who participate. 

We will be focusing on evolving our approaches and research, so we can best meet the needs of new parents and families. As a presenter, you will have an opportunity to teach new strategies and share information to help lead the evolution.

• Creating a culture of diversity and inclusion in classes and materials
