The Symposium offers attendees the best-of-the-best in drowning prevention educational programming, research, products, legislative efforts and more. Ample opportunities for valuable networking are provided. Also included in the Symposium schedule are the Exhibit Hall, the National Showcase of Programs, the Evening Networking Reception, the demonstration event, the NDPA Awards Luncheon and more.
Please visit the NDPA Website to view and print the detailed Symposium agenda and to read full descriptions of each pre-conference workshop, keynote presentations, plenary presentations, and breakout workshops.
The NDPA Board of Directors recognize that budgets have been tightened across the country and are pleased to offer our attendees last-year's registration prices, lower hotel room rates, and more breakout sessions and activities at the Symposium. Even though budgets are tighter, drowning continues to be the second-leading cause of unintentional death to children in the U.S., first in some states. Help make a difference in your community's drowning prevention efforts by coming to the Symposium and receiving national and international information on how to make the biggest impact in drowning prevention.
