ISPCAN Congresses
ISPCAN Congresses are a great way for members and other multidisciplinary professionals working to end violence and neglect of children to come together and learn from one another. Our international congresses attract multidisciplinary professionals from over 50 countries.
We rotate regions and often partner with large international NGO’s, as well as many regional country partners to address child protection issues. Authors have the opportunity to share their latest research, treatments, prevention tools, raise challenges, and share best practices in the form of oral presentations, workshops, symposia, multimedia presentations, and ignite/poster presentations.
