NEW
YORK, July 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The 4th
annual Doula Expo by Mama Glow is set to return this
October 5-6th, to Williamsburg,
Brooklyn. Coined "The Coachella
for birth workers and families," by Good Morning America,
the Doula Expo is an annual culture-shifting festival that caters
to birth professionals and families, and centers a vision for the
future of birth work. Curated by the global maternal health and
education platform, Mama Glow, the two-day interactive festival
centers keynote conversations, expert panel discussions, customized
lounges, interactive booths, live performances, and networking.
This event welcomes all interested or involved in maternal and
reproductive health, wellness, and mental and behavioral
health.
The Doula Expo by Mama Glow is not only an incredible venue for
entertainment but is also a place where learning happens. This
year, festival attendees in the healthcare sphere will be able to
attend for CEU credits, which signals a shift by Mama Glow to
elevate the festival into the sphere of academia and scholarship.
The Doula Expo facilitates important conversations and convenes
people from all walks of life, from our communities to industry,
health care systems, and policy makers with the shared desire of
improving maternal health outcomes.
In addition to CEU accreditation, The Doula Expo is pleased to
announce that they will be accepting abstracts for consideration
for a 15-minute presentation on the Doula Expo stage. The future of
maternal health research and policy will be characterized by
innovation, equity, and resilience. The Doula Expo is interested in
platforming presentations that address emerging challenges and
solutions that leverage opportunities in: digital health, mental
health, health equity, maternal health education, and policy
innovation. In order to be considered, abstracts must be submitted
no later than 11:59 PM Eastern Standard
Time, August 12th, 2024, via
the Doula Expo website.
"This year's theme is Reimagining Maternal Health, and we
are leaning into principles and thought leadership exploring
imagination and designing a future that centers reproductive
justice and birth equity, " says Latham
Thomas, Maternal Health Expert, Visiting Professor of Gender
and Sexuality Studies at Brown
University, and Founder of Mama Glow.
The Doula Expo is an opportunity to convene with peers and
industry leaders, develop authentic connections, and build
community with other birth professionals. The festival is designed
to help participants amplify their work, connect with
organizations, and grow their businesses. For expectants and
families, the festival is a space where participants can access
curated resources, meet practitioners, and experience products and
services from brands and organizations in the women's health as
well as the maternal and infant health spaces.
Proceeds from the ticket sales benefit the MAMA GLOW FOUNDATION,
a 501c3 non-profit organization advancing reproductive justice and
birth equity through education, advocacy, and the arts. Ticket
