    A couple more for you.

    The Midwives Association of Florida is having their regional conference this month. Florida is the third largest state for midwives. Gotta love that.

    In November in Niagara Falls, The Midwives Alliance of North America (MANA) has joined with the Canadian Association of Midwives (CAM) for the North American Midwifery Conference.

    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)

    • Hillary on June 26, 2012 at 9:05 pm

      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!
