During that time, the conference established a tradition of excellence and reputation as the premier neonatology meeting in the country; a tradition we are proud to continue today. Here’s why you should you register for NEO 2019.    **1.

What is safe? What is dangerous? - New and/or controversial topics - Surgery in the NICU - What is in the pipeline? *Review of the literature and abstracts* [**Check out the full agenda**](http://www.neoconference.com/agenda/) ##  2. **Learn from top neonatal medicine experts.** At NEO, world-renowned speakers address critical and controversial issues in neonatal medicine that are influencing the current clinical practice of newborn medicine.  “This year we have an amazing panel of speakers who will address pertinent topics to improve the care we provide to our neonates,” said Timothy Biela, MD, NEO Conference Co-Director. “The NEO 2019 format will allow attendees more time to have open discussions with experts to expand on the agenda topics, as well as provide attendees the opportunity to network with colleagues from around the world. We look forward to you seeing you there!” ***Speaker highlights:*** [**Henry Lee, MD**](https://profiles.stanford.edu/henry-lee), is an associate professor of pediatrics (neonatology) at Stanford Children’s Health - Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital Stanford.
