The Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine is pleased to announce that the 31st Annual International Meeting will take place on October 13–15, 2026, in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
The 2026 Annual Meeting marks a return to in‑person connection and community building, bringing clinicians, educators, and researchers together for shared learning, collaboration, and dialogue across ABM’s global network.

The meeting will begin on October 13, 2026, with preconference sessions designed for deeper exploration of key topics, hands‑on learning, and focused engagement.
On October 14 and 15, the Annual Meeting will feature two full days of scientific and clinical programming, highlighting evidence‑based research, practical insights, and global perspectives in breastfeeding and lactation medicine. Sessions will be offered in person in Toronto, with select content available to registered participants through virtual on‑demand access following the meeting.
