Kia ora koutou - welcome to the Sands National Conference 2017 website.
Sands is a voluntary, non-profit organisation that supports parents, families and whānau when a baby or infant dies. We provide a range of services to bereaved families and the people who care for them.
Every two years a Sands group hosts a national conference that brings together bereaved families, health and caring professionals, researchers and anyone with an interest in perinatal and infant loss, grief and bereavement. Sands Bay of Plenty is hosting the 11th biennial Sands conference in Tauranga in 2017.
We are excited to be bringing some international experts and speakers to the Bay of Plenty to educate, inspire, motivate and inform us. Our keynote speakers are Sam and Carly Marie Dudley from Australia and Lucy Hone from Christchurch.
Our venue is Trinity Wharf, on the waterfront in Tauranga Harbour - see our 'accommodation' page for more information.
