Be Part of VIDM 2027: Share Your Voice, Your Evidence, and Your Ideas
Call for Presentations, Posters and Facilitators Now Open!
Do you have research to share, an innovative idea to inspire others, or valuable insights from your midwifery practice?
VIDM 2027 is your opportunity to share it with the global midwifery community, without the cost, travel and environmental impact of attending an in-person conference.
The 19th Virtual International Day of the Midwife (VIDM) 2027 is now in preparation, and we are excited to invite midwives, educators, researchers, students, practitioners and colleagues from around the world to be part of this global event.
🌍 One Virtual Conference. One Global Midwifery Community, 24 Hours of Connection
VIDM is a truly global online conference designed to bring the voices and experiences of midwives together across borders.
The conference runs for 24 hours, allowing participants from different time zones to connect, learn and share. Attendance is free, making VIDM accessible to midwives and colleagues regardless of where they live or their ability to travel.
We particularly encourage submissions from midwives and colleagues who may have limited opportunities to attend international conferences in person.
Whether you are working in a university, hospital, community, primary health care setting, professional organisation or rural area, your experience and knowledge matter.
🎤 Share Your Work
We are inviting submissions for:
- Research and evidence from midwifery and related fields
- Innovations and new approaches to improving maternity and newborn care
- Practice-based experiences and lessons learned
- Education and training initiatives
- Community and global health programmes
- Ideas that can strengthen the future of midwifery
You don’t need to travel across the world to have your work heard around the world.
Your presentation or poster could reach a truly international audience from wherever you are.

Would you like to play a more active role in bringing the global midwifery community together?
