From presenting research to sharing your GBS story or advocacy work, we value your participation as we join together as a community to prevent GBS disease in babies worldwide. You can also show your support and become a sponsor!

This theme will focus on the scope of GBS disease and prevention efforts worldwide and we’ll hear from those personally affected by GBS disease.

Perinatal Healthcare Day (July 12, 2022)

This is an opportunity to share your expertise and resources on GBS-relevant best practices with perinatal healthcare providers, support teams, laboratorians, perinatal educators, doulas, and others who are influential in perinatal care.

Share your work to advance knowledge about group B strep and other relevant perinatal research. We look forward to a wide range of research submissions.

Families and Support Day (July 14, 2022)

This theme is geared towards informing parents and families as to what they can do and know to help protect their babies from GBS disease and also provide valuable resources for loss and early intervention to families of babies infected by GBS.
