2020 has been a rough year for everyone both personally and professionally. We know most industry businesses have struggled in one way or another. Nannies, NCS’s, and other industry caregivers have had to learn new skills to keep jobs or lost jobs altogether. We hope that you are looking to 2021 with hopeful anticipation for all that will come. 
At the INA, we were disappointed to cancel our 2020 Conference but we knew at the time it was the right thing to do. We immediately started considering a 2021 Conference and while there is nothing we want more than to meet with all of you face-to-face there is too much uncertainty in the world to risk something in-person.
So we have decided to shift focus for 2021 and will be hosting a one-day virtual Summit on Saturday, March 13, 2021. This day will be focused on education and connection.
Register with 2 easy steps:
- Step 1: Purchase the Summit and Add-ons through the INA Estore.
- Step 2:Once you pay, you will be emailed a link to the VFairs Registration. Follow that link to complete your registration.
Virtual events are a dime a dozen this year which is why we have selected a truly unique virtual platform to host our event. This platform will provide both rich visuals and exclusive connections, making it the next best thing to a face to face event. Join us on Thursday, December 17, 2020, on Facebook Live as we discuss what you can expect from this platform.
We have done everything possible to offer both outstanding educational opportunities and keep costs low. The price of the event will be just $89 for INA members and $155 for non Members if you register by February 15, 2021. At that time the member price will go up to $125 and the non-member price to $185.
Summit Sessions
Our program chairs will be putting together a line-up of 3 speakers for each track (Nanny, Newborn Care Specialists, and Business) but all sessions will be recorded and made available to ALL registered attendees for 2 weeks following the event. That means that you will have a chance to view all 9 sessions!
You will also have the chance to purchase Extended Access ($35) to these sessions if you would like for an additional fee and a Bonus Session from each track ($25) to make your experience even better.
With a focus on education, we feel you will not be disappointed when you see the options. Speakers will be announced as they are secured and will have optional Q&A’s after their sessions. If you have any suggestions, please feel free to pass those along to us at info@nanny.org.
Summit Sponsors
Sponsorships will be available soon on a first-come basis. Those who continued to sponsor us in 2020 will have one week to secure their sponsorship (check your emails on Dec 14th) before opening remaining sponsorships up to the public on December 22nd.
Summit Exhibitors
There will be options for those who want to host a virtual but visually appealing exhibitor table. Vendors will get to design their own virtual table (with several templates available) where all attendees can visit, learn about your product or service, and set up private face-to-face meetings with you.
Summit Networking
Networking breaks where you can visit face to face with attendees, speakers, sponsors, and vendors as well as enjoy some virtual games. It is the next best thing to being in-person.
Awards and Honors
Since our focus for this one-day event is education and we have chosen to have this event in March, we will be giving out our awards later in the Spring. Honors like Nanny of the Year, Meritorious Service Award, Service Award Pins, and new Board introductions will have separate introductions at dates that have yet to be determined.
