The International Breech Conference is a forum where birth professionals and parents alike can share their knowledge and experience with breech birth, creating a community which can work together towards breech delivery practices and protocols which respect the individual needs of each family and each birth. 

NEWS! 
We are delighted to announce that Dr. Stuart Fischbein will be joining us from California to participate in Friday's panel discussion.

With great regret, Mary Cronk is not able to travel to the Conference.  A steadfast supporter of breech birth and the CBB, we thank Mary for her ongoing work and look forward to the next opportunity to work together.

We are delighted to announce that Dr. Marek Glezerman will be joining us from Tel Aviv. Dr. Glezerman published important early criticism of the Term Breech Trial and will be speaking from the perspective of a centre that participated in the contraversial TBT.
