I am not able to attend this year, but this is something I am passionate about. Is this briefing going to be held next year, so I can take the initiative to pre plan to attend?

Good Morning –
I am reaching out from Glendale, Los Angeles California . I am a clinical educator for Social Work and Case Management at an acute hospital and wish to connect my NICU social worker with this briefing. Is there any way this can be accessed remotely?
