It's not just another online event you'll forget about...


The Postnatal rEvolution Summit stands out for several compelling reasons. At its core, the Summit is driven by a clear purpose: to foster radical change and encourage true participation among all attendees. We believe in the power of action, research, co-creation, and political and societal change, and we invite you to join us in this exciting journey toward a rEvolution in postnatal care.

The Summit kicks off tomorrow, Tuesday, November 26, at 19.30 CET with the online Expert Talk by midwife Ingrid Bayot.

🤫 Did you know?

Tickets for single lectures are available for only 25€!
You don't even need to be bilingual to participate:
all the lectures will be translated simultaneously!

Our summit features a hybrid format consisting of three levels of engagement.

FIRST, we will host five live lectures online, accessible from anywhere in the world. These lectures feature speakers who will actively engage with participants, ensuring a dynamic and interactive experience.


SECOND, we will facilitate dialogue forums that will take place both online and in person. Currently, we have planned four in-person forums in the Netherlands, as well as additional forums in Switzerland, Portugal, and the Dominican Republic.

FINALLY, we will culminate the event with an in-person gathering in Amsterdam. This significant occasion will include a keynote speech by renowned speaker Franka Cadee, followed by a roundtable discussion featuring a diverse group: a midwife, a psychologist, a doula, a mother, a father, and a community representative.

Attendees will then break into working groups to collaboratively draft a Postpartum Action Plan. This plan will be presented to doctors, midwifery practices, local and national governments, and international organizations to advocate for improved postpartum support.

We are committed to transparency—there are no hidden charges in our registration process. You will never receive unsolicited emails asking you to purchase additional packages or access.

Moreover, participants will have the unique opportunity to engage directly with experts during the talks, as all material will be live and not pre-recorded.

Additionally, even if you cannot attend in person, you can still take action by organizing your own dialogue forum online.

We look forward to your participation in this transformative summit!

How can I get involved?

You can choose to attend just one LIVE Expert Talk of your choice.

While we still strongly encourage you to join all five expert talks, we understand that life can get busy, and you may only have time to attend your favorite speaker's session. Remember, all talks will be recorded, so you can watch them later at your convenience. However, the unique opportunity to interact directly with these legends of the birth world will be available only to those who attend live.
