Multi-Disciplinary Simulation-Based Education
IPSS promotes and supports multi-disciplinary simulation-based education,
training and research among all subspecialties.
The International Pediatric Simulation Society (IPSS) has been established to promote and support multi-disciplinary simulation-based education, training and research in all subspecialties that care for infants and children . The Society organizes an annual meeting that brings together leaders in the field of pediatric simulation with educators, researchers and patient safety experts. The meeting – IPSSW – provides an opportunity to expand horizons, cross-fertilize ideas and promote excellence in education and investigative research.

IPSSW2018 – HOTEL DETAILS
HOTEL UPDATE
The initial conference room block at the Sheraton sold out prior to the March 26th deadline and was doubled to accommodate demand.
Both IPSS conference room blocks at the Sheraton have now sold out.
We are quickly negotiating a special, reduced rate for our conference attendees at an alternate hotel nearby, which will include shuttle service to the conference. This block of rooms will be the final set we are able to reserve at a special IPSSW conference rate – so book as soon as possible. Please note: there is a city-wide convention in Amsterdam during IPSSW, so options are selling out fast.
We recommend you check and confirm lodging before registering for the conference, as we will be unable to refund registration fees due to lack of accommodations and there are still plenty nearby to be had.
If you prefer to reserve a room at the Sheraton outside of our negotiated rate and room block, contact Elaine van Schaick at Elaine.Vanschaick@sheraton.com for the best available rate.
We are excited to see you in Amsterdam, and look forward to an outstanding conference.
Please direct any additional questions you may have to info@ipssglobal.org.
