The Labor Out Conference 2026 is held at Cleveland State University in Cleveland, Ohio.

The named audience includes death doulas, caregivers, end-of-life professionals, healthcare professionals, and heart-led practitioners.

The stated audience includes death doulas, healthcare professionals, caregivers, end-of-life professionals, and heart-led practitioners.

It is most useful for death doulas and clinicians who want practical end-of-life education, since the one-day program features speakers such as palliative PA Chelsey Ernst and keynote Dr. Bob Uslander, along with aid in dying advocates. Those needing a multi-day program, broad specialty coverage or formal credit details will get less, as the facts describe a single day focused on end-of-life care and list no credits.

Attendees at end-of-life care and doula gatherings usually wear comfortable business casual or smart casual, with clinicians sometimes in professional attire and layers for a campus venue in late October.
