The World Association for Infant Mental Health World Congress 

Brisbane Australia June 22-26, 2021.

The WAIMH World Congress is set for June in Brisbane Australia.  Due to the pandemic there are both virtual and in person registration opportunities available. I was fortunate to attend the WAIMH World Congress many years ago when it was held in Melbourne Australia. It is the most amazing conference with experts and viewpoints from around the world. https://waimh.org/page/upcoming_congress
