Virtual International Day of the Midwife has come to an end for another year. Over the next few days the recordings will be added to Programme listings — be sure to check back! We’ll let you know when these are up on our YouTube channel (Virtual Midwives)
Speaking of videos… Here is our thanks to you.
Please be sure to:
Look over to the right, that is how long until the start of VIDM ===>>
Use #VIDM18 across social media. Share!
All sessions will be recorded. Recording links will be posted on the VIDM website and YouTube channel. Check back after the conference for more information.
Each year VIDM receives, reviews, and shares outstanding poster presentations from midwifery researchers around the world. The 2018 offerings meet and exceed the standard of excellence we expect.
Take some time to explore these global perspectives in midwifery. Check back frequently — posters will be added until the end of the conference.
Check the Archive for posters from previous years.
Look to the right of this blog post ⇒ That is how much time you have to get ready for VIDM 2018.
Attending a 24 hour conference with concurrent sessions via webconference takes planning! When are you available? Which sessions are your “must attends” and which ones can you catch as recordings? Review the Programme Calendar and save the sessions to your calendar. Make note of the session room (1 – 2 – 3).
How about the webconferencing technology? Attend a drop in session to check out how Big Blue Button works. See below to find a session that works for you or look here. The moderators are there to answer any questions. Make sure your headset is working! ALL DROP IN SESSIONS are in Conference Room 3.
Accessing the drop in sessions is the same as accessing the conference. Give it a try and you’ll be ready for the conference.

It is with great joy that we announce the successful arrival of the Virtual International Day of the Midwife 2018 Programme. The organizing committee is doing fine.
The programme represents speakers from 15 countries across 6 continents, and includes presentations in 3 languages. What a way to celebrate 10 years!
Many thanks to our speakers and facilitators for their support and generosity of time and commitment. Your hard work starts now as you connect with one another to prepare for the big day — Just one month away!
The programme is published using UTC time zone, starting at 22:00 on 04 May. Be sure to check your local time — you don’t want to miss a thing! Time conversion information is provided. You can also subscribe to the programme calendar to add it to your local time calendar.
VIDM 2018 will be coming to you via the webconferencing platform Big Blue Button, supported by Frontier Nursing University. Information for speakers, facilitators, and participants will be available here very soon. We are excited about the possibilities.
We would like to thank University College Lillebaelt for their support with Adobe Connect over the years.
