Welcome

Welcome to the 32nd ICM Virtual Triennial Congress — the world’s largest virtual gathering of midwives ever. Join us every Wednesday in June for a mid-week midwife meet-up, your chance to network with industry leads and contribute to the future of midwifery.

ICM’s Scientific Professional Programme Committee (SPPC) is developing an interactive Congress that will enable our global midwife community to establish lasting relationships and meaningful connections with maternal and newborn health partners and midwife leaders. The virtual nature of this year’s event will enable even more midwives to participate in collaborative sessions with exhibitors and speakers and help build a pathway towards a stronger global midwife profession!

We appreciate your patience as we design a programme tailored to your professional needs and interests and encourage you to stay connected to the Congress on this site and ICM’s social platforms linked below.

We look forward to seeing you all soon!
