Join us for an in-person watch party of the virtual 2026 Shannon Goldwater Summit for Change, the kickoff event for the Feeding Matters International PFD Conference, followed by a guided community discussion. Families and healthcare providers are invited to attend.
This year’s summit, Beyond the Growth Chart, challenges us to look past the numbers and redefine what meaningful growth truly means for children with pediatric feeding differences. Hear from experts and individuals with lived experience, connect with local partners, and gain practical language to advocate confidently for children’s needs. Together, we’ll explore how to set meaningful goals, support holistic development, and drive change in our communities.
