Neonatal care is team-based. Learning should be too.

The 11th International Neonatology Association Conference (INAC) 2026 invites hospitals, NICU departments, neonatal nursing teams, paediatric departments, universities, societies, and institutional groups to plan their participation in Amsterdam.

INAC 2026 will bring together international experts and multidisciplinary neonatal professionals to engage with evidence on early interventions, NICU practice, neonatal outcomes, and long-term impact.

Attending as a team allows departments and institutions to return with shared insight, stronger discussion, and a common evidence base for clinical practice.

Early Bird registration closes 23 June 2026.

Not every abstract starts in a laboratory. Some begin with a bedside question, a unit challenge, a quality improvement project, or a pattern your NICU team has worked hard to understand.

The 11th International Neonatology Association Conference (INAC) 2026 welcomes abstract submissions from neonatal clinicians, researchers, NICU teams, neonatal nurses, fellows, residents, and multidisciplinary care teams.

Your NICU may consider submitting work related to:
• Quality improvement projects
• Clinical audits
• Respiratory support protocols
• Infection prevention initiatives
• Feeding and nutrition outcomes
• Developmental care
• Family-centred care
• Follow-up outcomes
• Neonatal safety and workflow improvements
• Data-driven improvements in newborn care

If your work can contribute to better neonatal care, it may belong in the INAC 2026 scientific discussion.

Submit your abstract by 22 June 2026.

Your neonatal work may be closer to an abstract than you think.

The 11th International Neonatology Association Conference (INAC) 2026 invites young researchers, residents, fellows, neonatal nurses, NICU teams, clinicians, and early-career investigators to submit abstracts that contribute to evidence-based neonatal and perinatal care.

Your clinical data, quality improvement project, audit findings, case-based insights, or research may help answer the questions neonatal teams are working with every day.

From respiratory support and neuroprotection to nutrition, developmental care, infection prevention, and long-term outcomes , your work can be part of the global neonatal conversation.

Submit your abstract by 22 June 2026.

How can we better protect the newborn brain after perinatal asphyxia?

Session 3 at INAC 2026 brings neonatal neuroprotection into focus, with discussions on allopurinol plus hypothermia, aEEG findings from the ALBINO cohort, and dexmedetomidine during cooling for HIE.

Featured speakers include:
• Axel Franz (GER) — ALBINO study (Allopurinol plus hypothermia)
• Manon Benders (NL) — aEEG results from the ALBINO-cohort
• Mariana Baserga (US) — Dexmedetomidin during cooling for HIE (DICE)

This session is highly relevant for neonatologists, NICU teams, paediatricians, neonatal nurses, researchers, and perinatal specialists involved in early intervention, therapeutic hypothermia, brain monitoring, and long-term neurodevelopmental outcomes.

Your neonatal research belongs in the conversation.

Abstract submissions for the 11th International Neonatology Association Conference (INAC) 2026 remain open until 22 June 2026, inviting clinicians, researchers, neonatal teams, and early-career investigators to share work that can inform practice and improve outcomes.

Whether your work focuses on respiratory support, neuroprotection, nutrition, infection prevention, developmental care, PDA management, BPD, perinatal transition, or long-term outcomes — INAC 2026 offers a global scientific platform for meaningful exchange.

Accepted abstracts may be considered for oral or e-poster presentation.

Submit your abstract before 22 June 2026 - https://worldneonatology.com/2026/abstracts/

How best should we support spontaneous respiration at birth?

Session 2 at the 11th International Neonatology Association Conference (INAC) 2026 focuses on one of the most immediate and clinically important questions in neonatal transition: how to support the newborn’s first breaths with precision, evidence, and respect for physiology.

This session will include discussion on ventilatory interface choice, whether face masks may inhibit spontaneous breathing, and the effectiveness of automated tactile stimulation.

Featured speakers include:
• Calum Roberts (AUS) — Face vs. nasal mask as ventilatory interface
• Colm O’Donnell (IRE) — Do face mask inhibit spontaneous breathing?
• Sophie Cramer (NL) — Effectiveness of automated tactile stimulation

For neonatologists, NICU teams, neonatal nurses, paediatricians, researchers, and perinatal specialists, this session brings delivery room respiratory support into focused scientific discussion.

The 11th International Neonatology Association Conference (INAC) 2026 programme brings together the clinical trials, debates, and evidence shaping neonatal care today.

From oxygen strategies at birth to neuroprotection, feeding, PDA management, developmental care, intermittent hypoxia, and BPD prevention — these are the sessions that matter.

For neonatologists, paediatricians, NICU teams, researchers, and perinatal specialists, INAC 2026 offers a focused platform to engage with the evidence behind early interventions and long-term outcomes.

Plan your experience. Prioritize the discussions. Engage with the evidence.

International Kangaroo Care Awareness Day is marked on 15 May — a meaningful reminder that in neonatal care, the care environment is not secondary to intervention. It is part of the intervention.

Skin-to-skin care, family-centred practice, developmental support, and careful attention to the NICU environment all contribute to the wider discussion on early interventions and long-term neonatal outcomes.

At the 11th International Neonatology Association Conference (INAC) 2026, this theme is also reflected in Session 6: Evidence-based nursing care / developmental care, where the programme includes discussions on recorded music exposure and brain growth in preterm infants, infection prevention approaches, and oxygen strategy during perinatal transition.

Explore the programme and engage with the evidence shaping neonatal developmental care.

NICU nurses are at the centre of neonatal care — translating evidence into practice, responding to subtle clinical changes, supporting families, and shaping the care environment around every newborn.

At the 11th International Neonatology Association Conference (INAC) 2026, we want NICU nurses to be part of the global neonatal conversation.

The programme includes important discussions directly relevant to nursing-led and multidisciplinary neonatal care, including evidence-based nursing care / developmental care, infection prevention, perinatal transition, respiratory support, neurodevelopment, and long-term outcomes.

Because in neonatal medicine, care is not only delivered through interventions. It is delivered through observation, consistency, communication, touch, timing, and trust.

NICU nurses, we want you in Amsterdam. Your expertise belongs in the room.

For International Nurses Day, the 11th International Neonatology Association Conference (INAC) 2026 recognizes the essential role of neonatal nurses in translating evidence into daily NICU care.

In neonatal medicine, outcomes are shaped not only by interventions, but by the consistency, precision, and responsiveness of the care environment.

This is strongly reflected in Session 6: Evidence-based nursing care / developmental care, which includes discussions on:
• RCT on Recorded Music Exposure and Brain Growth Preterm Infants - Jeroen Dudink (NL)
• Coconut oil to prevent sepsis in infants
