2026 NPN Leadership Summit & Retreat

Get ready for an inspiring gathering of leaders, advocates, and changemakers at the 2026 NPN Leadership Summit & Retreat in Austin, Texas!

Since 2010, the NICU Parent Network has hosted its annual summit as a powerful space where member organizations and maternal-infant health professionals come together to learn, connect, and grow. This premier two-day event is the only one of its kind dedicated exclusively to empowering, educating, and uniting NICU Parent Leaders who support NICU families through advocacy, family support, research, clinical guidelines, healthcare policy, and education.

The Leadership Summit & Retreat is more than a conference—it’s a collaborative experience designed to spark ideas, strengthen partnerships, and inspire action. Attendees can expect meaningful conversations, valuable professional development, and opportunities to connect with passionate individuals committed to improving outcomes for medically fragile babies and their families.

We welcome providers, community workers, parents, advocates, and anyone invested in advancing NICU care to be part of this unforgettable experience. With a focus on inclusivity, diverse perspectives, and collective impact, the 2026 Summit in Austin promises to be a memorable event where leaders gather to shape the future of NICU family support.

Big ideas. Bold leadership. Lasting impact. Austin awaits.
