Unfortunately, we’re not able to accommodate partial day tickets.

8. Are men welcome? Can I bring a male partner or husband?

Yes, the more people who learn about menopause, the better our community will be! Spouses, friends and partners welcome.

9. Are 2SLGBTQ+ folks welcome?

Absolutely! We do recognize that some of our conference information will be more cisgender focused and that our speakers may not necessarily have the language or expertise toward dealing with people who are transitioning, and other situations which may be beneficial to consider menopause education; we are definitely welcoming.

We do want to include more diverse information in future as well we are striving to be more 2SLGBTQ+ friendly.
