After a stimulating first international conference last year it is our pleasure to invite you to the 2nd conference on family-centred early intervention for children who are deaf or hard of hearing in Bad Ischl, Austria, from June 11th to 13th 2014. The Scientific Programme Committee (Christine Yoshinaga-Itano, Gwen Carr and Daniel Holzinger) as well as the local Austrian organizing committee, has started to prepare an international event that once again aims to provide a platform for Early Intervention professionals, researchers and parents to exchange evidence-based best practice.

The conference topic "Forging Global Collaboration" will be reflected throughout the programme by multinational and multiprofessional presentations, workshops, panels and network meetings.

The call for papers has been opened. We are looking forward to your submissions of presentations and posters for the conference.

The charming alpine Bad Ischl, well-known from "The Sound of Music", welcomes you once again!
Please check our new conference website www.fcei.at (http://www.fcei.at) periodically to stay up to date.
We look forward to meeting you once again, or the first time, in Bad Ischl in June 2014.
