The 2026 conference takes place at Oglebay Park Resort in Wheeling, West Virginia.
It is most useful for lactation consultants and other breastfeeding support professionals working in Appalachia, since the organizer describes it as the only lactation conference specific to the region and the two days cover the history of breastfeeding in Appalachia and current advances. Practitioners outside the region will find less that applies to their own communities, and those who need certainty about continuing education should note that CEUs and CERPs are only being applied for, not confirmed.
Attendees at lactation and maternal health conferences usually dress in business casual, such as slacks, skirts or knit tops with a cardigan, and comfortable shoes suit a resort campus.
