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.

35th Annual Emory Conference on Breastfeeding GaPQC Scholarships
Scholarships will be limited to two per participating hospital team, and are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Teams should discuss who would most benefit from the scholarships, with priority given to providers, nurse leaders, team members who did not attend last year, and those who have been actively participating in the initiative.
Scholarships are offered in the form of a 75% registration discount on the early-bird pricing. We are prioritizing in-person attendance so scholarships for both the pre-conference workshop and the main conference (in-person) are available, register for one or both. If funding allows, discount codes for the main conference on-demand access may be made available in April.
** No shows will be required to refund the GaPQC as this a limited resource.
