Thanks so much Michael. Will you be at MANA in November? It would be great to meet up.
Thank you for compiling/posting this, ladies!
Why did you delete the Mid-Pacific Conference on Birth and Primal Health Research (Honolulu. October 26-28, 2012)?
Hi Michel,
Looks like that was a formatting glitch. All fixed now!
Hope you won’t mind me posting here- New online breastfeeding conference at http://www.ilactation.com Sept 15- Oct 14 2012. Translated versions of the conference will follow later in 2012 (Chinese, Japanese, Spanish, Korean and French)
Iona, not at all! In fact most of these conferences were gathered from fellow professionals sharing information with each other. I will edit the post to include the conference and we’re working on the 2013 schedule so if you know of anything for the upcoming year let us know!
Can you please add our breastfeeding conference we have scheduled for October 4-6, 2013 in Daytona Beach, Florida with Catherine Watson Genna (applying for 12 L-CERPs!!) We are already taking early bird registrations until Jan 31, 2013 at a discounted rate. Our website is http://www.lllsunshinestate.org/conference.html
Thank you so much!
Hi Chrissy. Thanks so much for letting us know. We’re building a 2013 roster as we speak and will definitely include this conference. Be on the lookout!
