Thanks to a proven track record of success, NEO: The Conference for Neonatology has become a continuing education conference of choice for experienced neonatal providers. This event was developed more than 10 years ago as an extensive redesign of Management of the Tiny Baby Conference, which had an unprecedented 28-year run. 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.

Beginning bright and early on Thursday morning, the conference includes more than 20 dynamic sessions with built-in discussion time, a unique block to showcase four presentations highlighting our best collaboratives, as well as meal and break time to network.
The conference is broken into six broader themes across the four days:
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!”
