Give me details on the PIVOT Forum?

The PIVOT Forum is a one-day virtual event designed to support lactation professionals navigating the ripple effects of recent policy changes by The Lactation Network and similar organizations, as well as the potential withdrawal of Medicaid funding for countless families reducing lactation support. This forum is about solidarity, solutions, and sharing hard-earned wisdom from the field. It is a critical time in our lactation community and we are seeking to provide solutions and support to lactation professionals.

Time: 8 PST/9MST/10CST/11EST am- 3:30PST

Place: Online via Zoom (Recording available if you can’t attend live)

Do I need to have a current business to attend the PIVOT forum or Latch On to Success Summit?

Not at all! Whether you're just starting out or ready to scale your practice, there will be sessions and resources to meet you where you are.

Will there be continuing education credits (CEU/CERPs) given for the Forum or Summit?

No, the Business of Breastfeeding events are for professional development focused on business strategy, innovation, and entrepreneurship within the lactation and maternal-child health space. As such, these events do not offer continuing education credits (CERPs or CEs).

We are committed to upholding ethical standards aligned with the International Code of Marketing of Breast-milk Substitutes. Therefore, we do not accept sponsorship from companies that violate the WHO Code. Any speaker’s personal affiliations with retail or commercial entities are their own responsibility not the conference hosts.

Our goal is to foster an inclusive, integrity-based learning environment that prioritizes values-driven business growth and professional collaboration.
