The annual ISA conference is an opportunity to engage with a diverse community of bereaved parents, academics, researchers, clinicians, and policy makers engaged in prevention, bereavement care, and advocacy for reducing stillbirths and newborn deaths. It represents a rich platform for spreading knowledge and sharing local, national and international strategies for stillbirth prevention, as it highlights multi- disciplinary approaches to preventing stillbirths in all its complexity.
Upcoming Conference
The ISA 2023 conference will mark the 20th anniversary of the ISA’s founding and will be hosted by the University of Sheffield from 29 June (preconference) to 2 July in Sheffield, UK.
