Be sure to explore the 2018 posters!

Click through the slide show here – or check the VIDM 2018 Posters page for more information or to download the poster PDFs.

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.

 

Are you ready for VIDM 2018?

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.
