Join us in Bethesda, Maryland, June 8-10, 2023!

The U.S. Breastfeeding Committee is hosting our first in-person conference since 2019 this June in Bethesda, Maryland!
Join us June 8-10, at the Hyatt Bethesda for the National Breastfeeding Conference & Convening, where we will come together to learn and connect. The theme this year is Expanding Connections and Partnering for Progress.

After these past two years of online conferences, as great, and accessible as they have been, we are thrilled to be able to safely reconnect in person. The staff planning team and 2023 Conference Program Committee are busy designing an event program and schedule that, in addition to quality presentations on important and timely topics, leans into connection (and re-connection!) with structured networking, mentoring opportunities, and lots and lots of engagement.

We are committed to providing attendees with a rich, real-time experience that is informative, dynamic, connected, and builds the field's capacity to create a landscape of breastfeeding support. With this in mind, the conference will not be a simulcast/hybrid event.
