The National WIC Association invites you to submit presentation proposals for the 2025 Nutrition Education & Breastfeeding Conference being held virtually on November 5-6 2025!
The Nutrition Education and Breastfeeding Conference brings together lactation and nutrition professionals, healthcare providers, researchers, advocates, and community leaders to share evidence-based practices, innovative strategies, and emerging research that supports lactation, infant feeding, and nutrition.
The National WIC Association welcomes proposals from WIC staff, WIC participants, or those featuring WIC staff or WIC participants as co-presenters. We invite submissions that address the wide range of factors influencing lactation, infant feeding, and nutrition, with a focus on inclusion, equity, belonging, and culturally responsive care. Submission categories include: research, clinical practice, education and training, community engagement, and policy and advocacy.
NWA ensures quality educational content for IBCLCs and RDN/DTRs that meets IBCLE and CDR requirements. Submissions will be evaluated on the following: relevance to lactation, nutrition, and infant feeding; innovation and originality, clarity and organization; applicability to diverse populations; and evidence-based or experiential grounding. To comply, sessions must be free of marketing and promotional content, bias, and any conflicts of interest must be disclosed for transparency. Having a conflict of interest does not disqualify a presenter. If you are interested in promotional opportunities, please email [email protected].
Share your research and clinical skills and expertise with our attendees! We look forward to receiving your abstract submission.
