The latest version of the detailed conference agenda is available here. The conference will run over two full days, including a high tea reception on day 1. The conference features an exciting line-up of speakers, including researchers, policymakers, implementers, civil society members and the media. Thematic sessions at the conference feature experiences from nutrition success stories across India, including from Maharashtra, Odisha, Madhya Pradesh, Bihar and several other states. Modalities of working across sectors that will be featured in the presentations and posters include working with women's self-help group programs, the role of technical support agencies in linking actions in the National Rural Health Mission and the Integrated Child Development Services, using civil society organizations to mobilize dialogue for nutrition at the district level, and several more.
