This year’s event brings exciting new additions to enhance your experience:

For the first time, the TIPQC Annual Meeting will begin with an optional pre-meeting event on the evening of Tuesday, March 24th. We invite you to join us for a special showing of "24 Days Without You," a powerful film that has received national recognition in the Twin Cities Film Fest 2024, Women's International Film Festival 2025, San Diego Independent Cinema Awards, and Detroit Independent Film Festival 2025. This film follows Annie and Tony Sterle’s journey through Amniotic Fluid Embolism (AFE). The screening will conclude with a brief facilitated discussion, offering attendees a chance to reflect and engage with this impactful story.

While attendance is optional, we encourage everyone to participate in this meaningful kickoff.

This year, we are proud to introduce a new dedicated learning track focused on substance use disorder and opioid-exposed newborns. Attendees who complete this track will earn a TIPQC Nurse or Provider Champion Designation—a credential designed to recognize expertise and leadership in this critical area of care. To be eligible for the certificate, attendees must sign in at at least 3 workshops in the SUD/OEN Track, as defined in the annual meeting agenda, and complete the pre-work.

We encourage every hospital to have at least one participant in this track, as it represents a unique opportunity to deepen knowledge by learning from state and national experts, build skills, and make a lasting impact in your community. Workshops will include History of Addiction, Drug Testing, and Respectful Conversations, Best Nursery Practices for Treating OEN, The Naloxone Project, and Mental Health.

• 2.5 Days of In-Person Learning, Networking, and Fun: Connect with peers, hear from expert speakers, and explore innovative practices in perinatal care.
• A Commitment to Improving Outcomes: Learn how TIPQC is driving meaningful change for all Tennessee families.
