LCANZ 2015

Dear All

You are invited to be a sponsor and/or exhibitor at LCANZ 2015 to be held at the Mercure Brisbane, QLD from 6 – 8 March 2015. The inaugural 2012 Conference brought over 300 attendees to Sydney, and we anticipate 2015 to be even bigger and better.

Breastfeeding is the biologically normal way for babies to be nourished after birth. Breastfeeding, while providing food for babies, also confers immunities and protection from disease on the newborn; the skin-to-skin contact, touch, eye contact and engagement between mother and baby during breastfeeding not only promotes mother-baby bonding, breastfeeding helps baby learn to regulate stress and builds neural pathways in baby’s brain.

Breastfeeding is more than milk.

Participants at the LCANZ 2015 Breastfeeding conference will hear from internationally and nationally acclaimed experts in breastfeeding and lactation research and education during the 3 day conference.

The broad scientific and multi-professional dimension of the More than Milk conference will attract Lactation Consultants, Nurses, Midwives, Maternal Child Health Nurses, Plunket Nurses, GPs, Paediatricians, Neonatal Nurses, Doulas, ABA Counsellors, La Leche League Leaders, public health professionals and other breastfeeding advocates.

The scientific program will be based on peer-reviewed submitted abstracts and ‘hands-on’ workshop sessions.

Sponsor-supported exhibition booths and table displays will be on the same level of the hotel as the plenary sessions and catering, with delegates congregating in and spilling out into the display area and foyer during registration, morning/afternoon teas and lunch each day.

We look forward to meeting you in Brisbane at LCANZ 2015 and to learning more about the products and services that you offer.

about

LCANZ

Lactation Consultants of Australia and New Zealand (LCANZ) is the professional organisation for International Board Certified Lactation Consultants (IBCLC), health professionals and members of the public who have an interest in lactation and breastfeeding. LCANZ evolved in 2010 after a number of years of careful planning by IBCLC Lactation Consultants in Australia and New Zealand together with the full support of International Lactation Consultants’ Association (ILCA).

LCANZ provides a uniquely southern hemisphere approach to breastfeeding and lactation, and showcases the abundance of knowledge, research and skill in our region. LCANZ is the “peak body” of lactation professionals in this region and as such is in a great position to lobby Governments, and NGO’s on breastfeeding issues.
