86 • APRIL 2018 • WORLD FENCE NEWS Wide-ranging list of speakers will highlight NDPA 2018 Educational Conference Over 35 speakers have been se- lected to present on over 30 unique and informative topics at the Nation- al Drowning Prevention Alliance (NDPA) 2018 Educational Confer- ence, April 2–7, 2018 at the Marriott Waterside in Tampa, Fla. "You are guaranteed to gain valu- able insight on the best practices, lat- est research, newest technology, and critical knowledge covering all areas of water safety and drowning preven- tion," said NDPA president Melissa Sutton. "With the help of our premier speakers and our inspiring partners, the NDPA Educational Conference is undeniably the best opportunity to grow both personally and profession- ally while at the same time developing life-long relationships and connec- tions in our quest for safer water." The keynote speakers are: • Dr. Peter Antevy, Let's Start Treating Kids Like Little Adults: A Paradigm Shift in Pediatrics, Tues- day, April 3, 2018, 8:45 a.m. – 9:45 a.m. Death from pediatric drowning remains a significant problem world- wide while outcomes of non-fatal drownings remain variable and incon- sistent. Join Dr. Antevy as he exam- ines why outcomes have not improved in over three decades and how a para- digm shift in the treatment of children may by the answer. It may be time to start treating kids like little adults! • Ann Marie Buerkle, acting chairman – U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), A 2018 Update on the Pool Safely Campaign, Wednesday, April 4, 2018, 1:30 p.m. – 2 p.m. • Mario Vittone, Unaccounted for Variables – Realities of Offshore Res- cue and Survival, Thursday, April 5, 2018, 3:30 p.m. – 4:30 p.m. Many of the risks faced offshore are unlike anything found elsewhere in aquatics. The traditional warnings used to promote water safety and pre- vent aquatic injury are not applicable in the oceans of the world. In many cases a person's swimming ability doesn't matter, supervision cannot prevent injury, and drowning can oc- cur – even in a life jacket. Join veteran helicopter rescue swimmer and marine accident inves- tigator Mario Vittone for a deep dive into drowning prevention offshore and learn about the things you don't think of that make survival and rescue en- tirely different in the open ocean.
