Past MANA Conferences

The Midwives Alliance has been hosting annual conferences as a gathering place for all midwives for over 30 years. This is an honor we take great pride in and strive to provide not only a place for midwives to receive high quality continuing education, but also relaxation, renewal and friendship amongst other midwives and birth workers. The annual conference is hosted in different cities around the U.S. each year in order to be accessible to many midwives.
