The 12th International Newborn Brain Conference

The 12th International Newborn Brain Conference is a conference with both an international audience and faculty. This conference provides a state-of-the-art forum for discussion of current research and clinical care in newborn brain monitoring and neuroprotection. The conference runs over three days with practical workshops taking place on the first day. This allows for teaching and learning delivery of both current clinical practice in this area but also implementation of novel and emerging research driven practices. Given the high international standing of the faculty, a single-track conference format is used so that attendees can attend all presentations.
Traditionally this conference is held in Florida, USA and rotated to a European venue every third event. Due to the resounding success of the 9th & 10th Conferences hosted by the INFANT Centre and Prof Geraldine Boylan, we have once again been asked to host the 12th conference in Ireland from 17-19th September 2020. No other European venue has ever hosted this conference more than once. Prof Boylan has a proven track record as a conference ambassador winning Cork Convention Bureau’s Ambassador Award in 2015 and Fáilte Irelands Ambassador of the Year Award in 2018.
This year, the organising committee have decided to host the conference in the Dublin area and have chosen Carton House Hotel in Maynooth as the conference venue. Ireland, and particularly INFANT has an international reputation in the area of monitoring and neuroprotection in the newborn and this conference is an opportunity to showcase and enhance this reputation globally.
