29th Annual Perinatal Partnership Conference
September 29 – October 1, 2024
Annual Conference
North Carolina Perinatal Association (NCPA) members are a talented and diverse community of parents and providers. However, we know that complicated problems require interdisciplinary solutions. So at NCPA, every voice is heard, respected, and valued.
Because of this multidisciplinary approach, the NCPA Annual Conference is the only one of its kind. It is a place where you can learn from colleagues from other disciplines and share your professional insights. It is a place to grow professionally. And both mentor and be mentored. Whether you are a parent, provider, caregiver, educator, or advocate, you have opportunities at this annual event.
