ISA Members Present meetings are digital, chaired by an ISA board member, and take place bi-monthly. It is a forum where ISA members present their work and an excellent opportunity to share lessons learnt, to engage with our ISA global community or to get feedback to questions you thus far have not found answers to.

Initially the forum was open only to ISA members. However, since early 2024 meeting recordings are published on our YouTube channel and non ISA members are welcome to join the sessions. Upcoming meetings are posted on our homepage. Contact us if you want to be invited. 

We welcome unsolicited presentations. If you are an ISA member and would like to present in this
forum, please email progcoord@stillbirthalliance.org. To join ISA, please click here

Please see the list below to get an idea of the range of topics we have covered in the past.
