Elevate Your Impact in Perinatal Education
Call For Speakers
InJoy is excited to announce the return of our popular annual virtual summit! This year, we are again focusing on childbirth education, including birth, breastfeeding, baby care, and related prenatal classes. Currently, only 25-50% of parents participate in these classes, leaving many without the well-rounded education that can improve their family’s health outcomes. We also aim to share new research related to perinatal education and related topics.
This conference will be a dynamic space for us to come together to share ideas on structuring an effective program with flexible options for today’s parents, increasing class attendance, designing activities to increase engagement during class, and more. To make this summit a success, we need speakers who are passionate and knowledgeable about these topics! If you believe you have valuable insights to contribute, please read below for details.
