The interactive scientific programme for CEPAS 2026 is now online, and if you haven't explored it yet — check out https://www.cepas.org/scientific-programme. Built on more than 15 years of collaboration between the European Academy of Paediatrics, the European Society for Paediatric Research, and GFCNI, the CEPAS programme brings together science, clinical practice, advocacy and paediatric training in one place. Sessions, topics, networking opportunities — it's all there, and it's a lot.

Which brings us to a question we've been thinking about. With a programme this rich, how do you actually navigate a conference? Do you plan every session in advance or follow your instincts on the day? Do you wander beyond neonatology or stick to what you know? Paper programme or app — or both, just in case?

We're genuinely curious how the 99nicu community does it. We've put together a quick poll — it takes two minutes, the results are live, and we'll be sharing them at our session at CEPAS in October.

Because let's be honest - everyone has their own system. Or complete lack of one...

Share your approach in the comments too — we want to know if the 99nicu community is a meticulous-colour-coded-schedule crowd or a go-where-the-wind-takes-you crowd. Probably both. Probably at the same time.

Hope to see you in Lyon!
