PRELIMINARY TOPICS AND CONFIRMED SPEAKERS RELEASED
EIP are excited to announce a new program structure for the 10th edition of EIP, one designed to focus on what matters most to pediatricians, built with their day-to-day needs in mind.

The 2018 program has been designed with this development at its core to provide participants with a practical take on the research happening in the specialties while highlighting its relevance to the general practitioner.
The program covers the most hot topics and developments across 9 specialties of pediatrics, making use of 5 different session types on each track (One day / one Hall for Each Specialty). This year we are are focusing on the following specialties:
