| Description |
The annual NANT Conference is the only one if its kind in the world. It serves an international group of neonatal OTs, PTs, and SLPs in order to advance the specialized knowledge and skills required to work in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).
The two-day Main Conference allows attendees to experience leading edge presentations on a range of neonatal therapy topics, interact with exhibitors who supply products and services to the field, and network with colleagues from around the globe. This is preceded by an optional Pre-Conference in which an in-depth learning experience is offered by presenters with evidence based practice modalities. Therapists and other professionals also present their research as Poster Presentations where colleagues can view findings and meet presenters. An exhibit of neonatal products and services is open throughout the conference to provide information about innovations and trends of interest to neonatal therapists. Participants have the option to view this virtual conference as a LIVE event on May 15-16, 2020 or as a replay/self-study from May 17-July 31, 2020.
