Emory University is pleased to offer a dynamic and engaging conference on breastfeeding in collaboration with Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, hospitals across the region, and partners from community organizations. The conference is known for bringing in national speakers and local experts for a robust learning experience. The conference generally offers a mix of content reaching across clinical settings, from prenatal visits to the mother-baby bedside, the neonatal intensive care unit, and outpatient care. The conference welcomes members of the multidisciplinary perinatal and leadership teams, drawing a diverse audience of nurses, lactation consultants, physicians, advanced practice providers, dietitians, neonatal therapists, trainees, and more.
The conference has been held each spring, with few exceptions since its launch in the late 1980s. Please monitor this site for updates and information on current and future conferences.
