We have many special events planned within the conference! If you are arriving on Monday, we will have visiting time together that evening.
There will be a pajama party and “Tales from the Trade” on Tuesday night and we’ll stage a re-take the infamous photo (you must be there to find out what that is).
On Wednesday, we invite you to dress up in “Call the Midwife” styles or your favorite birth-inspired costume. Costumes are optional, but there will be prizes!
Our first annual Gala Dinner will be the Wednesday night: “Call the Midwife” costumes, vintage fashions, and festive finery are encouraged (but not required).
Thursday afternoon, we will celebrate a real High Tea together, and for those who stay over until Friday, we’re going out on the town Thursday night (details TBA).
Throughout the conference, we will be holding a Silent Auction. We appreciate registrants bringing a new item to donate for the auction. Don’t miss the final countdown and winner announcements on Thursday.
