A Different Kind of Learning Experience

TIDE brings together neonatal and perinatal professionals for an intentionally paced experience grounded in evidence, practical application, conversation, reflection and connection.

Following the infant and family journey from birth through hospitalization, discharge and home, TIDE will help participants move beyond knowing what the evidence says toward understanding how to bring it to life in everyday practice.

This is not another traditional conference. It is an intimate, interactive experience designed for meaningful participation and practical change.
