The 2024 AMCHP Annual Conference is fast approaching! So, if you are still pondering your participation or deciding whether to participate in person or virtually, we have you covered! Join us in this post as we revisit some of the benefits offered by our conference and reasons to connect with maternal and child health (MCH) leaders and thinkers at AMCHP 2024.

The AMCHP Annual Conference is one of the country’s largest gatherings of MCH professionals. Last year, over 1,300 participants from nearly every state, territory, and jurisdiction in the United States joined us virtually, surpassing all previous records.
